Instructions
-
Preheat the Pan:
Begin by heating a non-stick skillet or frying pan on medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and swirl it around to ensure the base is evenly coated. -
Crack the Egg:
Once the oil is hot, crack the whole egg into the pan. Be careful not to break the yolk. Turn the heat to medium-low to avoid overcooking the egg. -
Cook the Egg Whites:
As the egg starts to cook, gently use a spatula to move the uncooked egg whites towards the edge of the pan. This will help cook them evenly. Allow the egg to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. -
Cover and Finish Cooking:
To speed up the cooking of the whites and slightly firm up the yolk, cover the pan with a lid for about 10-15 seconds. If you prefer a firmer yolk, leave the egg covered for a bit longer. -
Serve:
Once the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolk is at your desired consistency, carefully slide a spatula underneath the egg to release it from the pan. Gently transfer the sunny side up egg onto a serving plate. -
Season and Enjoy:
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg to taste. Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of fresh toast or as part of an egg sandwich with sauces and a crisp salad leaf.
Serving Suggestions:
This Fried Egg Recipe – Sunny Side Up pairs beautifully with a variety of side dishes such as a Apple Almond Date Smoothie for a nutritious boost, or a Carrot Pineapple Orange Juice for a refreshing drink to complement the meal.

Tips:
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley on top of the egg before serving.
- To make it a complete meal, layer the fried egg between two slices of toasted bread, add a few greens, sauces, and chutneys for a hearty egg sandwich.
