HOW TO MAKE SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS: 11 STEPS (WITH PICTURES) - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp (14.2 g) of butter on low in a cast iron or non-stick skillet. Choose a skillet large enough to fit 2 cracked eggs so that they won't touch in the pan. Place the skillet on the burner with the butter in the pan, and turn on the burner to heat the butter. If your pan isn't non-stick, such as a carbon steel pan, you may need to spray it lightly with a non-stick spray before adding the butter.
• Tilt the pan to distribute the melted butter over the bottom. The butter helps to fry the bottom of the eggs quickly and maintain their shape. Make sure the butter is covering almost as much of the surface of the bottom of the pan as possible. If you don't have butter, you can use lard, olive oil, or bacon fat to make your eggs, because each will spread to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Break 1 egg gently into the pan, keeping the yolk intact. Once the butter is simmering, hold the egg about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) over the frying pan as you break it, and let it gently drop into the bottom of the hot pan. The egg whites will begin to cook immediately. If you have trouble cracking eggs, crack each one into a bowl, check for shell fragments, and then carefully pour the egg into the pan.Identifying a Fresh EggIf you're not sure how old the eggs in your refrigerator are, fill a glass with water and gently place the egg in the water. If the egg sinks to the bottom, it's very fresh and can be used for all recipes.If it's submerged at the top of the water with the wide end sticking up, it's slightly older. It's still safe to fry or hard boil older eggs, as long as they're cooked all the way through.If the egg floats on top of the water, it's expired and should be thrown away.
• Crack another egg into the pan so that the whites don't touch. Repeat the process for cracking the egg into the pan. If the whites begin to touch, place one of the flat edges of your spatula in between them to keep them separated. Alternatively, you can let the whites touch and separate them after they're cooked by slicing through the whites with a spatula or knife.
• Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes. Covering the pan can accelerate the cooking process and make sure the whites are firm while the yolk remains runny. After 2 minutes, open the lid and check the whites to make sure they're cooked on the top. If not, recover the pan, and let them cook for another 30-60 seconds. You can check the doneness of the egg by shaking the pan gently to see if the yolk jiggles while the whites stay firm.
• Transfer the eggs to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Carefully hold the pan at a 45-degree angle next to the plate, and watch as they slide off of the pan. For more control, slide a spatula under each egg, and lift it onto the plate. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and enjoy! You can serve sunny side up eggs with grits, over a piece of toast, or as part of a big breakfast with meat, potatoes, and fruit.

PERFECT SUNNY-SIDE-UP EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat until slightly shimmering, about 5 minutes. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and slowly add it to the skillet; repeat with the other egg, adding it to the other side of the skillet. Cover with a tight lid and cook, uninterrupted, until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the eggs out of the skillet onto a plate or toast. Season with salt and pepper.

SUNNY-SIDE UP BRUNCH EGG AND BACON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Set oven to 425 degrees.
• Set oven rack to bottom position.
• Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Place the bacon in one layer into the bottom of the buttered baking dish, then sprinkle with Swiss cheese (make certain to only use half-cooked bacon for this, do not cook until crisp).
• Break the eggs carefully over the cheese spacing evenly.
• Whisk the whipping cream with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper, then pour over the eggs.
• Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until set.
• Remove from oven the sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; let stand for about 8-10 minutes before serving.
• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

TOASTED SUNNY-SIDE UP EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toast the 2 slices of bread.
• Butter one side of one piece of toast, then on the other slice spread with mayonnaise (use any amount of butter and mayo desired).
• Place 1 slice of cheese over either the buttererd side or the mayo side.
• Heat about 1-2 tablespoon butter into a skillet over medium heat.
• Break eggs into the skillet, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Cover the skillet and cook eggs until cooked but leave the yolk semi-soft.
• Place the cooked egg/s over the cheese on the bread and top with the remaining slice of toast.

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS

Steps:

• Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
• Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
• Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.
