Sunny Side-Up Eggs

Submitted by KittyKitty

"I know this seems simple, but it took me a long time to learn how to make these without breaking the yolk, so I thought there may be some beginners who may have the same problem."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 1-2

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 eggs

directions

1. Melt butter in a heavy skillet and heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.

Tried your saucer idea and it works! Haven't broken a yolk since. Thanks for the great idea. Just before the egg is done I sprinkle the top of the egg with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and put a lid on it to cook the top of the egg a little, white only, for just a few seconds, still leaving the yolk runny. Yum.

Never thought of using a saucer or bowl to "first" break the egg over. Very nice tip..thanks

I agree, cooking an over-easy egg without breaking the yoke is a challenge! The only thing I would add to this would be....make that a non-stick skillet.
