How to Cook Sunny-Side Up Eggs
Sunny-side up eggs are fried eggs that are cooked on one side only in a frying pan.
- Coat a frying pan with butter or cooking oil and heat it on low heat.
- Break the eggs one at a time right into the frying pan. If possible, try to break the eggs into the pan so that their spreading whites don’t touch. You can use an egg ring, a circle that you place in the pan to limit the spreading of the egg white.
- Cook the eggs over low heat.
- The eggs are ready when the white is firm and the yolk is runny and shiny. Usually it takes just 3–5 minutes to cook sunny-side up eggs.
When cooked in this style, the albumen forms a thin, translucent layer over the yolk, giving it a shiny appearance. If you want to stop this from occurring, cover the eggs with a sheet of aluminum foil while they are cooking.
Shirring Eggs
Shirring is a variation on cooking eggs sunny-side up. Shirred eggs are baked or broiled in individual shallow ramekins (small baking dishes). The shirring method contains the white neatly and requires less butter or oil than the standard method. It also produces perfectly round sunny-side up eggs.
