Learn how to consistently produce beautiful sunny-side-up eggs! They’re great for breakfast, but they’re also great on bowls, burgers, avocado toast, and other dishes.

One of the simplest things to prepare is sunny-side-up eggs. We’ve all eaten ones that were burnt on the bottom and raw on top, rubbery, or just plain oily.

So, today, I’m going to show you how to make sunny-side-up eggs using my tried-and-true approach.

It’s quick and simple, and it doesn’t necessitate any special equipment or ingredients. Olive oil, eggs, and a decent nonstick skillet are all you’ll need!

Even so, the eggs always turn out flawlessly, with soft, just-set whites and runny yolks. Make a batch for breakfast or toss one in with any meal for a boost of protein. They’re certain to be tasty no matter how you serve them.

Sunny-Side Up Eggs: A Step-by-Step Guide

It’s simple to make a perfect sunny-side-up egg! Simply follow these fundamental guidelines:

• Make sure to use a decent nonstick pan. It’s bad enough that eggs stick to a frying pan, but cleaning it is far worse. Cook sunny-side-up eggs in a nontoxic, nonstick skillet with a lid to avoid damaged eggs and a filthy pan. I usually always cook eggs in my GreenPan skillets.
• Alternatively, use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have a nonstick pan, you can use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet instead. Use more oil than you would in a nonstick skillet, enough to coat the bottom of the pan generously. Make sure the oil is heated before adding the eggs to avoid sticking.
• Each egg should be cracked into its bowl or ramekin. Before cracking the eggs into the pan, crack each one into a separate bowl or ramekin to avoid breaking the yolks. Heat a pan over low heat and spray it with olive oil when you’re ready to cook. After that, gently pour each egg into the pan.
• Cook them on low heat for a long time. The bottoms of the eggs will burn before the whites are fully cooked if you cook them at too high a temperature. Low heat is necessary for uniformly frying the egg whites while maintaining a lovely runny yolk.
• Cover the pan with a lid. Cooking the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny requires covering the pan. If possible, use a pan with a glass lid to keep an eye on the eggs without having to uncover them.

Transfer the cooked eggs to plates with a spatula, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Serving Suggestions for Sunny Side Up Eggs

Sunny-side-up eggs are a delicious and healthful breakfast option. Pair them with avocado slices, tempeh bacon, and/or fresh fruit for a complete meal, and don’t forget the toast to mop up any yolk left on your plate.

Serve the eggs with banana pancakes, gluten-free pancakes, or French toast for a larger brunch, and mimosas, orange juice, or a smoothie to drink.

Sunny-side-up eggs, on the other hand, aren’t just for breakfast. For lunch, spread one on avocado toast or add one to a dish of creamy polenta with sautéed mushrooms.

In bibimbap, a spicy Korean rice bowl, they’re also a crucial element. On Sunday, look for my recipe!
