⏤ The Story
Learnhow to make sunny side up eggsand achieve firm egg whites and a soft, runny yolk with my failproof method and simple steps.
In my opinion, sunny side up eggs are one of the most fun ways to prepare eggs. They’re impressive in appearance but are quick, easy, and pretty failproof to make. My method adds rich flavor and ensures a perfect finished result so you can start your morning off on the right foot.
See the recipe card below for the complete ingredients list and instructions.
My favorite way to serve sunny side up eggs is on a plate with chili oil or chili crisp and browned butter foam around the whites. Be careful not to accidentally touch the yolks while plating.
⏤ The Method
Step by step.
- 1
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt.
- 2
Once the butter is lightly sizzling, crack the egg into the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for one to two minutes, or until the edges of the egg begin to lightly brown and the whites begin to set.
- 3
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another one to two minutes, or until the white is fully set, but the yolk is still runny.
- 4
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer to a plate to serve.
⏤ Chef's Notes
*Use fresh eggs for the best results. To test your eggs’ freshness, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink, and older eggs float.Storage:I don’t recommend making sunny side up eggs ahead of time.
