Sunny-side-up eggs are the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions fried eggs. They’re perfectly delicious and easy to cook, but there are tiny mistakes than can ruin their taste. Here are three steps that you should take to ensure your sunny-side-ups are as tasty as it gets.
Pan Choice
Your sunny-side-up eggs will be a disaster if you don’t use the right pan. A nonstick pan is the best possible option because your eggs won’t be sticking to the pan and you won’t have any trouble cleaning it up. You can also use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, covered with a generous coating of oil.
Oil Dilemma
Speaking of oil, the way you use it can make all the difference when it comes to sunny-side-ups. One tablespoon is usually all it takes, but you should make sure to have enough oil for basting. Once the oil gets cold and your eggs start cooking, scoop some of the hot oil with a spoon and drizzle it over egg white to make sure they cook evenly.
Proper Heat
You should heat the skillet before throwing the eggs inside, but it’s best to keep the temperature at low-medium once they’re in. The bottoms may burn if the temperature is too high, so it’s best to cook your sunny-side-ups low and slow.
