HTML Directions

1

Gather Ingredients

Gather all necessary ingredients to prepare sunny-side-up eggs.
2

Prepare the Eggs

Break each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to prepare for cooking.
3

Heat the Oil

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Lower the heat and gently slide each egg into the pan one at a time.
4

Cover and Cook

Cover the skillet with a lid or plate and cook the eggs for about 2 1/2 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks stay bright.
5

Serve the Eggs

Arrange the cooked eggs on a serving plate and garnish with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

A sunny-side up egg is fried on one side, leaving a beautiful golden exposed yolk. This method is an easy way to cook the eggs to perfection, with that brightly colored yolk and no unappetizing globs of uncooked white.

Using this covered pan method, all you have to do is crack the eggs and add them to the hot oil. There's no flipping or basting required—cover the pan and let the heat do the work. Keep track of the time this method takes on your stovetop, and you'll have perfect eggs every time you cook them.

For an extra-special breakfast or brunch, add sliced broiled tomatoes to the plate along with toasted or grilled bread. Or make the plate more tempting with a sliced avocado half or slices of melon or strawberries.

Raw Egg Warning

Consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs poses a risk for food-borne illness.

Tips

If you avoid sunny-side up eggs because of the salmonella risk, consider pasteurized eggs. If you can't find pasteurized eggs locally, you can do it at home with a sous vide circulator. Set the temperature for 135 F (57.2 C) and cook the eggs for at least 1 hour and 15 minutes. Thoroughly chill the eggs in ice water; label and store in the refrigerator.

Recipe Variations

Basted Sunny-Side Up Eggs: Use an extra tablespoon or two of oil. Add the egg(s) to the oil and continue to cook on low heat. Baste gently, avoiding the yolk, until the white is firm.
Uncovered Sunny-Side Up Eggs: Heat the oil or fat and then turn to low and add the egg(s). Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are firm.
