Son: “Mom can I get a quick sunny side egg before I go to school”

Mom: “Sure son, just give me about an hour or so”

The poached and scrambled eggs are perfectly normal and legit, but you can tell how many people stopped taking the video seriously at the sunny side up

[TenaciousTheSketcher]

What does service time look like in a restaurant that serves that for breakfast? I love the crunchy texture of a fried Sunnyside up egg.

Yes it's a picture perfect egg, but no I will not separate the egg white from the yolk then use an oven to cook a freakin sunny side up 😂

I lost track when he separated the yolk for a fried egg

This is one of those movies that have a ridiculous premise but still somehow takes itself too seriously.

[HajoBenzin]

now I have to preheat an oven for 10 minutes and run it 5 minutes to cook one egg

[MlleKnobs]

Put the pan on a low heat and cover it with a lid. It'll cook the top side and you won't need a stove for one egg. lol, cmon

[smoothboi]

Im not gonna put a sunny side up egg on an oven.

[PrettyHMachn]

These are definitely perfect for me. It took me forever to figure out my own techniques, but I'm glad I got the use of the butter, low heat, cream, cheese, etc. Right. I just use chopsticks for the extra smol curds. I still can't get the poached eggs quite right even with vortexing or a shallow pan like Alton Brown suggested.

I've always had issues with the sunny side up eggs, so I just put a lid on it and get it to steam after it fries partially, but I think separating the white from the yolk like this might work better.

Thanks munchies. Would also be nice to see how these techniques are scaled up for restaurants.

[PrettyHMachn]

I get that the procedures are longer than what we all probably do, but I'm not sure where folks are getting that the process will take an additional 20 min to 2 hours lol. Maybe another 5 or 6 but, at least for me, turning the heat down and trying new things that didn't involve getting dense, rubbery scrambled eggs eggs, or overly crispy fried eggs, really did make eggs much more enjoyable for me. Experimenting with new techniques and styles of cooking can be part of the fun.

Meanwhile, in Spain, a lot of mothers and granmas just collapsed at that fried egg.

[lucagattoni-celli]

The scrambled eggs look great! Keep it moving, good technique, look forward to trying it!

[rodaxel]

I'm gonna say it the best of a sunny side egg aside from the jammy yolk are the crispy edges..

[DecChild]

My favourite way is to put a lid on the pan when frying eggs and just steam the tops. Cooked whites and runny yolks.

[Ash_G]

If I want a sunny side up egg, I am cracking the egg directly in my frying pan (low heat) but I will drop it close to the edge so some of the egg-white sticks to the edge. Then i will angle the pan at 15° so I have egg on one side (away from heat) and oil on other (direct heat). I then scoop the hot oil onto the yolk until everything looks good. Soft yolk and cooked whites. Some crispiness on the edges but not brown.

[hoganshairline]

i just put a lid on the pan and steam the top for sunny side

[golt]

U can make preferct "sunny side up eggs" if u just cook it on low heat and cover your pan with lid for a 2-2.5 minutes. Yolk is still runny and the whites are evenly cooked due to heat reflecting from the lid. U can make sure its cooked when the bottom of yolk becomes slightly foggy.

[jimmyjohns]

Get a skillet hot. Add egg, wait untill edges are cooked and quickly splash a small amount of water to steam the pan and cover it. Quick and easy sunny side up
