Sunny-Side Up Fried Eggs

  • Makes
    4 eggs
  • Cook Time
    8 minutes

Every stovetop has a different low setting, and skillets vary in thickness and heat conductivity. It may take a few attempts to determine the best timing for your equipment. For us, 3 minutes was perfect for completely set whites and thick but runny yolks. If you like very loose yolks, shave off a minute; for lightly browned whites and firm yolks, add a minute. To make just two eggs, use an 8-inch nonstick skillet and 2 teaspoons of butter.

Tip

Don’t break the yolks when cracking the eggs into the bowl. If you’re not confident in your egg-cracking skills, break the eggs one at a time into a small bowl before combining them.
