Filipino Breakfast Ideas: Fried Egg – Sunny Side Up (Pritong Itlog)

This is one of my favorite breakfast especially with Toyo-Mansi and hot pandesal. Of course it requires patience to make a perfect sunny side up.

How to Fry an Egg Sunny Side Up:

1. Turn on the stove at about medium to medium high heat.

2. Grease the frying pan with some cooking spray or about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil (vegetable, corn, olive, etc.).

3. Wait a few minutes until the grease has heated up. If using cooking oil, the consistency/viscosity will be similar to that of water. It will be more runny than oil usually is at room temperature.

4. Crack the egg over the pan.

5. Turn the heat down to low.

6. Let the egg fry for a few minutes. It will be ready when the bottom of the egg starts to brown and the top coagulates and doesn’t run anymore.

7. Remove egg from frying pan by using a plastic slotted spatula. If the frying pan was greased enough and/or if you are using a non-stick pan, you should be able to slide the egg into a plate.
