How do you make a sunny-side up egg?
In a nonstick skillet set over medium-low heat, melt 2 teaspoons butter. When the butter has melted and begins to bubble, gently pour the egg into the skillet. Cook until the white is opaque and the yolk has set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired.

You’ll want the water to cover the egg white and reach just to the egg yolk. You don’t want the water to cover the egg yolk at all.

Sunny-side up: The egg is fried until the white is just set and the yolk is runny. It is not flipped and is served with the yolk up.

Wait 4 minutes and you’ll have perfect eggs — no sticking or breaking. The longer you cook the eggs, the harder the yolk will be. If you want medium yolks, cook the eggs for 5 minutes. A hard yolk will set in 6 minutes.
Can you make sunny side up eggs without oil?
- Put 1 tablespoon of water and wait for it to bubble.
- As soon as the water boils, crack your egg in. My diet is egg whites only but the process is the same.
- Cover and lower heat to medium low.
How do you stop the yolk from breaking?
If your egg yolk is breaking, either you are cracking the shell too forcefully or you are letting the egg fall into the pan from too great a height. Give the pan a light spray or thin coating of cooking oil, then turn on the heat to medium.
Is the yolk raw in a sunny-side up egg?
A sunny-side up egg is cooked undisturbed until the whites are just barely set, and the yolk is still raw and translucent. Over-easy eggs are flipped “over” to lightly sear the top of the egg, containing the still-runny yolk in a package of set whites.
What is a fried egg with a broken yolk called?
Where I come from, that would be called ‘over hard. ‘ As a reference, the others would be over-easy (runny yolk), over-medium (soft, slightly runny), and the over-hard would be cooked solid. Chefs will often break the yolk on an over-hard order, before flipping the egg, if it’s not already broken.
What is it called when you cook an egg on both sides?
An egg cooked “over easy” means that it gets fried on both sides, but it’s not cooked for very long on the second side, so the yolk doesn’t get cooked through and stays runny. To make one, you cook the raw egg just until the whites are set on the bottom, then you quickly flip it over to cook the other side.
Why do you need to add vinegar in the water when making poached egg?
This is because egg whites are mostly protein, and protein starts to set (coagulate) as soon it meets heat. Yolks cook slower to begin with, and even more slowly when they are surrounded by their whites. Adding vinegar to poaching water makes the whites firm even faster to prevent them from dispersing in the water.
What’s better sunny-side up or over easy?
Sunny-side up eggs have the runnier yolk of the two, while eggs over easy have a slightly more cooked yolk. That’s not to say over easy eggs wont run, just not nearly as much as sunny-side up will.
Is it OK to eat runny egg yolk?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) actually advises everyone against eating undercooked eggs, or foods containing raw eggs (that means recipes like homemade caesar dressing, aioli, some ice creams or protein-packed power shakes) due to the risk of salmonella.
