How to Cook Sunny Side Up Eggs - 7 Easy Steps

Most people boil their eggs, scramble them or fry them. Very few people know how to cook an egg sunny side up. But, before you learn how to cook sunny side up eggs, you need to understand what this term means. Most restaurant/diners use this term for hard cooked, unbroken yolks which are usually not visible when the egg is served. The white part of these types of eggs mostly surrounds the yolk and it is also visible on top of the dish. Not many people use this term to refer to a particular style of preparing an egg and most people don't know how to make sunny side up eggs.

Eggs are a super food!

Eggs contain protein and essential nutrients such as choline, vitamin B12, riboflavin, folate, selenium, iron and other vitamins. Even eating just one egg daily can have a really positive impact on your health! PRECAUTIONS: Wait 24 hours after consuming raw eggs before drinking unpasteurized milk as the two may have been cross-contaminated. Pasteurization kills the harmful germs in raw eggs that cause salmonellosis, which can be deadly if not treated immediately. For infants and children: Cook eggs thoroughly before giving them to your little ones, or if you go the raw route, make sure they are well-mashed so there are no chunks. Eggs contain a significant amount of protein and can be the only source of food for infants and children under the age of 1 year. Make sure to cook eggs thoroughly so there's no risk of food poisoning from salmonella.

How to cook perfect sunny side up eggs in the oven

• Two Eggs · Prepared Dish/ Plate or Container for serving the egg with white visible as much as possible · Oven Proof Dish (Pyrex, Metal, Ceramic etc.) · Butter (optional)

Steps: 1. Get your oven proof dish and grease it with butter if required. 2. Now break two eggs into it and spread them around so that they completely cover the bottom of the dish or container. If you do not want or cannot see the yolk at all, you can break more than two eggs. 3. Place the dish in an oven and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes on 350 degrees Fahrenheit/180 Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit/100 Celsius if your oven does not go this low. Now cover the dish with aluminium foil so that nothing falls into the egg while baking. If you do not want to eat baked yolks, then take this step. 4. Pre-cook them for about 2 to 6 minutes depending upon how runny or firm you like your sunny side up eggs to be, before removing it from the oven and serve hot with toast or any other breakfast items of choice.
