Do you want to learn how to cook eggs sunny side up like a pro? It’s easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps to make delicious eggs with perfectly cooked whites and a runny yolk.
Start by heating a non-stick skillet over low heat. This is important because cooking on low heat helps the eggs cook evenly without burning. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet. This will prevent the eggs from sticking and add some flavor.
Carefully crack an egg into the skillet. Try to keep the yolk intact, as this is what makes sunny side up eggs special. Let the egg cook without moving it. You’ll know it’s ready when the whites are set, meaning they are no longer clear and have turned white, but the yolk is still runny.
To make sure the yolk is cooked just right, you can cover the skillet with a lid for about a minute. This traps the heat and helps the yolk cook a little more without flipping the egg. Alternatively, you can gently spoon some of the hot butter or oil over the yolk. This is called basting and helps cook the top of the yolk slightly.
Here are a few extra tips to make your sunny side up eggs even better:
Fresh eggs hold their shape better and taste great. If you can, try to use eggs that are as fresh as possible.
Once your egg is cooked, sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top for extra flavor. You can also add herbs or spices if you like.
Sunny side up eggs are delicious on their own, but you can also add toppings like cheese, avocado, or salsa for a tasty twist.
Now you’re ready to cook eggs sunny side up! Enjoy your delicious creation, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and techniques.
Try cooking eggs sunny side up at different skillet temperatures. Record how the eggs turn out at low, medium, and high heat. Discuss with your classmates which temperature produced the best results and why.
Practice cracking eggs without breaking the yolk. Set up a station with a bowl and eggs, and see who can crack the most eggs perfectly in a row. Share tips on how to improve your technique.
Experiment with different methods to cook the yolk, such as covering the skillet or basting with hot butter. Compare the results and decide which method you prefer for the perfect sunny side up egg.
Try adding different seasonings and toppings to your sunny side up eggs. Create a flavor profile chart to rate each combination and share your favorite with the class.
Research how to determine the freshness of an egg. Conduct a freshness test with eggs of different ages and observe how they cook differently. Present your findings to the class.
