Sunny Side Up Eggs
For many years, my sunny side up eggs weren’t as pretty and bright as I liked until I started cooking them with a bit of water in my skillet. I know a lot of people use this same technique for their sunny side up egg, but use vegetable oil. While that works perfectly, I thought you all might be interested in knowing about how I prepare mine without using oil. I use water instead!
How to Make Sunny Side Up Eggs
I fill a non-stick skillet with a bit of water over medium heat. 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. When the water begins to bubble slightly, then carefully break the egg and add to the skillet. Use eggs that are straight from the refrigerator as they work a bit better, in my opinion, than a room temperature egg. Using a large spoon, ladle water atop the egg white if the water begins to reduce while cooking. Cook until the egg white is perfectly opaque and the egg is firm as you shake the skillet slightly. Use a slotted spatula and carefully lift the egg from the skillet, allowing any of the water to drain from the egg before plating. Here’s my recipe for Sunny-Side Up Eggs. Hope the perk up your mornings! Enjoy!Robyn xo
