Who wouldn't love having breakfast with a cup of coffee, a toast, and a perfectly rounded shaped sunny side up egg? Eggs are considered very healthy and are prepared and cooked in many ways. And one of these is cooking it "sunny-side up" style; which means the egg is cooked directly on the pan preserving the round yellow yolk with the egg white, looking like the sun in all its shining glory. However, cooking an egg this way requires a lot of practice and attention especially when you want your egg to be perfectly round. But for those people who do not have time to practice and learn this artistic method, a simple utensil will aide you achieve the perfect rounded sunny-side up egg called the egg ring.
The egg ring is a simple utensil made of silicone or Teflon-coated aluminum ring where you will put the egg preserving its perfectly round shape when cooking
Here are the steps in cooking a sunny-side up egg using an egg ring:
1. Preheat the pan in low flame with a little coating of vegetable oil. Be sure not to overheat the pan to avoid charring. In order to tell if the temperature is at its optimum level, sprinkle a drop of water on the pan and see if it immediately sizzles and evaporates. If it does, the pan is hot enough to cook the egg properly.
2. Keep the heat on low level. Break the egg carefully with the one edge of a spoon/fork and place it right inside the egg ring.
3. Let it sit for around 3-5 minutes in low flame or heat or until you achieve the desired consistency of the yolk. Use a pan cover in order to circulate the heat inside the pan to ensure the top part of the egg is cooked.
4. If you want the yellow part of the egg to be "nicely done," cook the egg for around 3-5 minutes then flip the egg carefully to cook the other side for around a minute or two.
5. Remove the pan from the heat source, then remove the egg ring using its handle and serve your hot perfectly round sunny-side up egg together with a toast and a hot cup of coffee and enjoy a healthy breakfast.
Tips:
1. Always keep the flame on low setting in order to avoid over-cooking or charring the egg.
2. Use a wide non-stick Teflon-coated frying pan and spatula in order to flip the egg easily without deforming the egg. You could also cook 2-3 eggs simultaneously.
3. You can also use butter for an extra yummy taste
