HOW TO MAKE SUNNYSIDE UP EGGS

If you've ever wondered How To Make Sunny Side Up Eggs perfectly every time, you're in the right place! We're talking crispy edges, silky whites, and that perfect-for-dipping oozy golden yolk you just can't resist—let's get cracking!

Prep Time 1

Cook Time 5

Total Time 6

Servings Eggs

Ingredients

2 large Eggs
1-2 tbsp Cooking Oil or Fat (i.e. cooking oil, butter, bacon grease, ghee)
Salt to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the cooking oil or fat to the pan, ensuring it evenly coats the surface. Allow the oil or fat to heat up until it’s shimmering or the butter is fully melted and just starting to foam, but not brown.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolks stay intact. This also makes it easier to gently slide them into the pan.
Carefully slide the eggs into the skillet, making sure not to break the yolks.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. The whites should set completely while the yolks remain runny. If you prefer firmer whites, cover the skillet with a lid for the last 30 seconds of cooking. The edges should be slightly crisp without browning too much.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently slide the eggs out of the skillet using a spatula and onto a plate. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer the yolk to be a bit more set, you can spoon some of the hot oil or butter over the yolk during the last few seconds of cooking.
