Sunny Side Up Eggs

I love my eggs, and when I don’t make my over-hard eggs for breakfast or a spinach omelette, then I like a sunny-side-up egg on top of my avocado toast.

This is simply the best high-protein breakfast, easy to make in large batches for the whole family.

Let me share with you how to make the best fried eggs.

What Is A Sunny-Side-Up Egg?

Sunny-side-up eggs are the same thing as fried eggs.

The egg is cracked in a non-stick skillet with warm fat and cooked until the egg white is crispy and the yolk is done to your desired texture.

How To Make Sunny-Side-Up Eggs

It’s easy to make a fried egg, but it’s easy to fail it too. So here are my tips to make them perfect every time.

Ingredients

• Large Fresh Eggs – Fresh eggs spread less than older eggs. So keep the older eggs for my air fryer boiling eggs, their shell peel off better.
• Avocado Oil or olive oil
• Butter or ghee
• Salt and Black Pepper

Picking The Right Pan

First, pick a non-stick frying pan, nonstick skillet, or well-seasoned cast iron skillet, well seasoned, or the eggs will stick to the surface.

Also, make sure the size of your pan matches the number of eggs you want to put it.

It’s always better if the eggs don’t touch each other in the pan, and since they spread after being cracked, it’s better to choose a wider pan for more eggs.

Warming Fat

Now, add the butter and avocado oil to the pan and bring over medium-high heat until melted.

Tilt the pan to spread the melted fat all over the surface. Return it to the heat.

Cracking Eggs

Crack one egg into the pan. If you are cooking just one egg, crack it in the middle of the pan.

To crack the egg perfectly, knock the eggshell on the side of the pan until it cracks.

Then, bring the eggs in their cracked shell close to the surface of the pan, and use both hands to separate the sides of the shell and release the egg into the pan in one motion.

Don’t drop eggs from too high, as this can break the yolks.

If you are going to cook more than one egg, crack the first one next to the border of the pan. Wait for 15 seconds to see how much the egg spread. It should stop quickly as the oil is hot.

You can crack more eggs, always starting from the edges and far from the previous one so they don’t overlap.

Cooking Eggs

Season the eggs with a sprinkle of kosher salt, cover the pan with a lid, and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.

If the oil spits, reduce the heat, as it’s probably too hot to cook the egg properly.

The egg whites are going to change color from transparent to white.

Then, the outer sides of the egg white start to fry and crisp, and continue cooking until the egg yolk is cooked to your liking.

When Are Fried Eggs Ready?

A fried egg is ready when the whites are completely cooked, but the yolk is still soft and runny.

Serving

Serve the cooked sunny-side-up eggs on top of your favorite toasted bread with mashed avocado on top.

Season with more salt, pepper, or chili flakes for the flavor of your choice.
