How to Make Perfect Sunny Side Up Eggs

Preparing the Pan and Eggs

Before you start cooking your sunny side up eggs, you need to make sure that your pan is properly prepared. Here’s how to do it:

Choose a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking to the surface.
Heat the pan over medium-low heat. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and may burn. If the pan is not hot enough, the eggs will take too long to cook and may not set properly.
Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Crack the eggs into a bowl or onto a flat surface. This will make it easier to transfer them to the pan without breaking the yolks.
Carefully pour the eggs into the pan. Make sure to leave enough space between them so that they don’t run together.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking sunny side up eggs may seem easy, but getting them just right can be tricky. Here are the steps to cook your eggs to perfection:

Cover the pan with a lid. This will help the eggs cook evenly and the steam will help set the whites on top.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your eggs over easy, cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks start to thicken.
If the pan is too hot and the eggs start to brown on the bottom, reduce the heat to low and cook the eggs for an additional minute or until the whites are fully set.
If you like your eggs well done, cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks are fully set.
Using a spatula, carefully remove the eggs from the pan and transfer them to a plate.

Once your sunny side up eggs are cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve and enjoy them. Here are some tips for serving and enjoying your eggs:

Serve the eggs hot, straight from the pan.
Use a spatula to carefully remove the eggs from the pan and transfer them to a plate.
Garnish the eggs with chopped herbs, such as parsley or chives, or with grated cheese.
Serve the eggs with toast, bacon, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Enjoy your sunny side up eggs with a cup of coffee or tea for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the best sunny side up eggs:

Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before cooking. Cold eggs can cause the whites to set too quickly before the yolks are cooked.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and breaking when you try to flip them.
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Leave enough space between the eggs so that they don’t run together.
Cover the pan with a lid to help the eggs cook evenly and to set the whites on top.
If you like your eggs over easy, flip them over using a spatula after 2-3 minutes of cooking and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks start to thicken.
Add flavor to your eggs by seasoning them with herbs, spices, or cheese before cooking.
Use high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
Experiment with different cooking times and temperatures to find the perfect sunny side up eggs for your taste.
Practice makes perfect! Don’t be discouraged if your first few attempts aren’t perfect. Keep trying and you’ll soon be making delicious sunny side up eggs like a pro.
