Introduction
A guide demonstrating four distinct techniques to fry sunny-side-up eggs, ranging from gentle butter-fried eggs with tender whites to crispy olive-oil-fried, basted, and steamed variations. Each method yields a different texture for the whites and yolk, from completely runny to rich and thickened.
Step 1
【Classic Sunny Side Up】Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat, crack in an egg, cook gently without letting the white brown or crisp until the yolk is warm and runny, then season with salt and slide onto a plate.
Step 2
【Olive Oil Fried Egg】Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat, crack in an egg to immediately sizzle and develop crisp, golden edges, then sprinkle with salt and transfer to a plate.
Step 3
【Olive Oil Basted Egg】Heat olive oil in a skillet, crack in an egg, and continuously spoon the hot shimmering oil over the top of the egg while it cooks to ensure the whites around the yolk are fully set.
Step 4
【Olive Oil Steamed Egg】Fry an egg in olive oil, then add a small splash of water into the hot pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam for about 1 minute until the yolk forms a soft cooked skin and the bottom is crisp and browned.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
For classic sunny side up, maintain low heat and use butter so the whites remain completely tender without color.
For crispy olive oil fried eggs, use sufficiently high heat so the whites bubble up and get browned and lacy around the perimeter.
Basting with hot oil cooks the translucent raw layer around the yolk without having to flip the egg.
Steaming with a splash of water and a lid thickens the yolk and creates a thin white film over the top while keeping the bottom browned.
