I usually fry them in (Kerry Gold) butter on a fairly low temp. If I make bacon, I fry them in the bacon grease.
But I rarely eat eggs sunny side up. I don't care for runny yokes.
Once I break them in the skillet, I add salt and pepper, then break the yokes and stir them around to evenly distribute the yokes and whites without scrambling them. Once one side is done enough but the top is still runny, I flip them over for just a few seconds. I don't like them overcooked.
The only time I order eggs sunny side up is when I have corned beef hash. I mash the eggs, hash and crispy hash browns together. 😋
u I do my cooking on a concrete slab outside my house in the front yard on the driveway because it’s so hot here. All I do is just put a little bit of cooking oil right on the driveway and throw my eggs down on it. I don’t need any frying pans. I don’t need to cook inside the house turn the stove on or anything. 😊
Butter. With low heat butter doesn't burn, high carbon steel pan ensures equal heat transfer. I've noticed, Teflon coated aluminum pans have some problems with heat distribution on low flame while frying slowly eggs or pancakes.
I fry mine in coconut oil or avocado because my partner refuses to have any other oils in the house. Says ‘they aren’t healthy’ 🥲
Ah, the eternal debate on how to perfectly fry an egg! I'm with you on the butter train, my friend. Butter adds a rich flavor that just can't be matched by other fats. It provides that golden, crispy edge we all crave, while keeping the egg tender. However, I've seen people get creative and use everything from olive oil to bacon grease, each bringing its own unique taste to the table. Just between us, though, have you ever tried a dash of truffle oil after cooking? It's a game-changer! 🍳👌 Let's keep exploring these flavors, but remember, when it comes to cooking, it's all about what tickles your taste buds!

Butter, with a drop of oil to stop it burning. Once it's started, chuck in a spoonful of water and put a lid on to steam the top.
I use butter on mid-low fire.
Then add any other things i want.
Sausage, salami, peperoni, pepper, red pepper, onions, tomatoes... Whatever. And cook em nicely for a good 10 to 15 mins.
And finally I whip the heck out of the eggs until the whole thing is golden yellow/orange and no single sign of transparent white.
It varies according my mood. Generally I tend to use a little olive oil, and sometimes margarine. Now, I never fry as badly as most examples shown in your picture ! The white should never be burned.
I'm dairy free so coconut oil, it's got a higher burning point than olive oil so I prefer it.
I use the olive oil spray made by PAM just enough so it won't stick.
I really like frying them in bacon fat…
But yea the yolk should usually be runny, except when you want a neat egg sandwich
I like my eggs dunny side up with the white cooked and the yolk runny I usually cook them in butter in my well seasoned cast iron skillet which is stick free. I do occasionally cook them in bacon fat if I cooked bacon in the pan first the edges of thecwhites get mice and crispy in yhecbscon fat andvthr yols are perfectly runny, theybalsonget a bit of a bacon flavor added to them.
Those pics are deceiving. The over fried ones are because of temperature not type of oil. And I do agree with butter they’re delicious but I prefer olive oil for health reasons.
I prefer scrambled eggs so I don't fry them sunny side up like this often. When I do, I use a non-stick pan with maybe just a small amount of butter, for flavour as well as so the egg won't stick.
I rately fry eggs, I prefer them boiled but if I eat them fried, then I use extra virgin olive oil
Just butter, in a stainless restaurant-grade skillet (from a restaurant supply store, like most of my cookware).
Usually bacon grease. Cook up the bacon and set it aside. Then lower the heat and fry my eggs. I don’t agree that sunny is the only right way though. I like my eggs sunny, over easy and omelette. Scrambled is just lazy. Ell oh ell!
I just put a little bit of water in the pan to keep them from sticking.
Nothing else goes in the pan. It’s not required. A good conductive pan , a tiny amount of water medium heat & cover. The steam does all the work.
The best eggs fried are with bacon grease. If no bacon grease is available use butter.
Bacon grease. Thank god mine don't come out that burned
I like the coconut oil as it adds a nice flavor to the eggs.
I fry them in a pan.
The fat... as little as possible, and whatever is closest to me :=)
I dont fry , I like poached..
Closest to frying , microwave addition , I'd use butter.
I use a small amount of butter/oil together to keep the butter from burning quickly.
