How To: Make Sunny Side Up Eggs

Method

1. I

   Add oil, butter, or margarine to thoroughly-heated pan; spread with a spatula.

2. II

   Crack egg on a flat surface to avoid tiny shell pieces breaking apart and sticking to the egg white and add egg to pan (slip egg into a saucer first if you have trouble keeping the yolk from breaking); cover immediately.

3. III

   Turn off heat after one minute - take off of stove if using an electrical stove; leave covered until egg white around yolk is opaque white - usually 3-5 minutes, depending on your pan's ability to retain heat. Uncover, add salt (might not be needed if salted butter or margarine was used) and pepper to taste, carefully run spatula under egg, and serve.
