Sunny Side Up Eggs

Learn the simple technique for making perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs—ideal for breakfast and beyond!

Servings: 1 egg
Prep Time: 1 Minute
Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Crack the egg into a small bowl and set aside. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Let heat up for 30 seconds. Once hot, add the butter to the center of the pan and heat until melted.
  2. Add the egg to the pan and let cook for 1 minute. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. (Note: If you prefer your egg yolk to be cooked more/less runny, reduce the heat to low during the covered cooking step and cook until desired doneness.) Once the egg whites look set/cooked, and the yolk is jiggly but not fully raw, use a plastic spatula to lift the cooked egg out of the pan onto a plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
