A staple of many a hot breakfast, sunny side up eggs can be perfected to attain that crispy edge and runny yolk, to be nestled alongside bacon, hash browns, or atop buttered toast.

Ingredients
- 1 fresh large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat your cast iron skillet on MEDIUM heat for a few minutes until it is hot. Add the olive oil and swirl it around to evenly coat the surface.
- Crack the egg into the skillet. Be careful not to break the yolk. Cook the eggs on MEDIUM heat until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- The key to preventing the eggs from sticking to the pan is to use enough oil to coat the skillet. Additionally, make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the oil and eggs.
- Using fresh eggs helps to keep the whites together. Another way to prevent the eggs from running all over the pan is to make sure your pan is hot so that the bottom cooks fast and stays where it is when it touches the pan.
