[@mikeb1596]

I have the opposite problem. I have to order overeasy so they don't overcook them, and they still do sometimes

[@bensebaugh6017]

Almost... every... time.... I guess they are expecting them to set up when they throw them on a cold plate? You just can't order over easy and not expect the white to run all over the plate. It happens with over medium a lot more than it should too.

[@TheGreektrojan]

@@bensebaugh6017 More accurately, they usually aren't trained chefs and they are usually cooking a lot of orders at once so they aren't going to be perfectly consistent with cooking times. Overmedium is just a safe order to make getting undercooked eggs less likely. Its a gamble no matter what when going to a basic breakfast joint.

[@majinraptor]

That gooey (snotty) part is so tasty though.

[@I_Will_Cook_What_I_Want]

​@@bensebaugh6017That's because the white is supposed to be runny for an over easy egg.

[@wendimooreart]

If you want really bubbly, crunchy edges on your fried eggs, drop your eggs in hot bacon grease right after you remove the bacon. That’s what I do. When I was growing up, my mother always cooked fried eggs in bacon fat, and scrambled eggs in butter, so I still do it that way. Today, I opted for scrambled eggs and decided to try a new spice blend that I recently bought. It’s Badia brand, Everything Mushroom seasoning. It has bits of dried mushrooms with spices. You should try it.

[@Auburn7543]

I must say every Badia seasoning I've tried has been great. I'll have to keep my eye out for the Mushroom!

[@thatdudecancook]

Can't go wrong with that!

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

Obviously cooking in bacon grease will give you a lot more flavor but would this work with regular say canola oil too?

[@davidbuben3262]

Our mom was similar. She would fry mine sunny side up and baste the whites with the bacon fat.

[@FaeDiggle]

@@greeneyesfromohio4103 I cook my eggs over medium in canola oil pretty regularly, and I aim for a bit of crisp on the edges. Nothing like that last sunny side up in the vid, but just a bit. Works pretty well for me. Just gotta make sure the oil is up to temp.

[@donnalynn286]

My mom had a well seasoned cast iron pan she made her eggs with that crispy brown edges. I was my favorite way to enjoy them and I try to make them like that but hers just tasted better. We had eight in our family mom dad and six kids so you can imagine how many meals she cooked over the years. Brings back happy memories. Great video I learned a lot thanks

[@theewelder]

my mom did the same...but...always pulled the eggs %100 slowly til done/with a splash of milk......so the edges didnt feel like eating tough plywood/burnt edges....its true..like a ommelette.....and not like like FRIED scrambled egg with burnt egg/charred edges... crispy brown edges say butter was used and the eggs were fried/scorched / burnt edges with butter vs oil takes longer to heat....and wont do that......add butter to your bread of choice when done....thin layer of olive olive wont char broil your eggs....heat them evenly....trying to make a really good cheese ommlete this way,always pull eggs slowly til done....

[@eddyrizk5057]

I usually do Number 7 or I do a version of scrambled egg: crack eggs on medium heat, wait for the egg to go from clear to white and then scramble.... yummy 😋

[@davidbuben3262]

True that.

[@Knotunit]

with todays prices this must have been pretty eggspensive.

[@Zero-uw8io]

Another tip on sunny eggs, when you crack the egg in the pan immediately use a spatula and break the membrane around the yolk it’ll level out all the white so they cook evenly

[@notawildthingy]

I do the last one often as a topper to my ramen bowls when I am lazy and don't want to do marinated soft boiled eggs. The extra crunch adds so much flavor and texture. For breakfast, I almost always do a non-traditional scrambled egg (though I also like the French style you show), where I start like making over-easy with butter, but scramble them about the same time you would flip. Love the texture you get with that and I also love the rustic flavor of varying proportions of yoke and white in every bite.

[@amandamyers3307]

I do this sometimes too! Actually, I’ll do it this way if one of my yokes broke.

[@justinboydell6456]

You should try fried eggs Indian style. Lots of oil in the pan, a good 1cm deep. Heat oil until smoking and really hot. When you crack the egg in it will bubble and splutter and the egg cooks in 20 seconds. No need to flip. You end up with lovely crispy egg white and soft runny yolk. Great in a bread roll with some tomato and chilli chutney. Perfect hangover food!

[@ballagh]

Yess I always go for the last option, the crispy edge on the white and the runny yolk is just such a good combo. Never seen anyone liked their fried eggs like that until now. Crispy egg lovers represent!!

[@PeaceMastah]

Really? I thought that was the only way to do it and when I get eggs not cooked that way, that whoever cooked them just messed up. It’s 100% the correct way though

[@KristopherNoronha]

my parents love it that way too, and so do I but I do it crispy under and then over easy. you're not alone!

[@logikgr]

The most important thing about scrambled eggs is the size of the curd. Smaller curd will feel creamier and more moist, even if cooked a bit longer. Bigger curds, achieved using the pull-to-center-spread technique, will feel a bit meatier and more filling, which is a great technique for scrambles because it will hold bigger chunks of vegetables without tearing, whereas the French omelette requires fine diced herbs and vegetables. Final finish on the outside depends on preference.

[@matthewsevers5862]

Good point. I also find that adjusting the temp down slightly helps me create a small curd whereas keeping the heat slightly higher (or slightly hotter pan) allows for larger, more whispy or planar, curd.

[@robertholtz]

Great explanation and very true. You’re absolutely right. That’s why I like medium sized curds most. It’s basically the best of both worlds, in my opinion.

[@diannt9583]

YES... I want large curd scrambled.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

I do tend to like a slightly larger curd, but still keep that cook time down for the wetter egg in general. Just depends on my mood, though.

[@a420dro]

medium, and for soft sticky eggs I prefer full flame over small, but holding the pan whole time in the air, and depending on eggs needs I put it higher or lower, it spreads heat in pan better than small heat spot in the middle of the pan from low flame (can be even 10-15min hand muscles work depending on amount lolz but gives perfect result). Also too much butter can kill the soft eggs texture (way better is to have extra butter spread on bread along with eggs, than pieces of eggs swimming in too heavy fat emulsion), plus for perfect scrambles, butter always should be goldened first (not just melted) and smell like nuts before adding the eggs lil later into lukewarm butter. Also whisking eggs is big no, it's not cake we cook... natural spatula whisking during salted eggs warming/mixing on pan gives better outcome

[@stringoverbet2790]

Try this with your sunnysides... reheat some dal tadka (butter yellow dal), spoon a large circle of it on your plate. Place a sunnyside on top. Garnish with chives. (Also consider feta, lightly salted avocado cubes, maries mild habenero sauce, etc). Dude.

[@edwilderness]

Another way to avoid snotty white is to use a fork to pierce the edge of the white so that it runs out around the yolk in a thin layer which cooks more quickly.

[@1donniekak]

A spoon and bacon grease is how you cook the top.

[@misterhowdy7042]

@@1donniekak I use a torch.

[@panicwithcompulsion]

I just use the oil over the yolk, but I make sure to get around it on the thicker part first to solidify that (as he did in the video), then slowly add a bit of oil at a time over the yolk to just barely cook the top right when you're about to pull it out of the pan. :o In my experience, it doesn't seem to have much impact on the inner yolk if you are just doing a couple drops of oil at a time.

The scrambled eggs technique on this video is the truth. I went to try it right after seeing this vid. The best scrambled eggs Ive ever had much less ever made. It was silky, creamy, buttery. Didnt even need to add salt or pepper. Def give this a try.

[@Maxsfable]

A method I've come to love for making Sunny side up eggs is to wait for the whites to start going solid, and then taking the spatula to kind of break up the center, thickest area of the white, almost to where it clings to the yolk. It displaces the already cooked white on the bottom and allows the top of the egg to cook a little bit faster, before it starts burning or overcooking the yolk.

[@jasonlucia6682]

I use the corner of the spatula to pierce and drag the membrane of the egg white right after cracking it. 3-5 seconds later I push the semi cooked white toward the yolk so it's fairly even thickness. Adds some nice surface area for crisping. Different strategy but same idea. Your mini white-scramble is interesting though.

[@jmad56]

The crispy sunny side up, as I had learned it, is Spanish style. Some olive oil and butter to about 2mm deep and cook over medium. My grandmother used to make them and serve over buttermilk Eggos, a small amount of butter melted in each cranny, no syrup needed with that yolk and the butter 🤤

[@ericwiese7479]

Lol..I order over medium for the exact reason 😊

[@jakubgadzala7474]

I used to work as a chef from 18 to 26yo. Once on a wedding after party on Sunday early morning I made scrambled eggs like that to the groom. He said these were best eggs he ever had in his life. I cooked them twice longer over twice smaller heat to retain the moisture and added just a splash of milk and seasoning of salt and pepper. To this day that's how I love my eggs the best. Plus hot baguette smeared with butter and chives on top.

I taught myself to make a French omelette a few years ago and it's now my go-to quick-and-dirty late night delight. I rarely have all the right herbs on hand (especially chervil, if you're a purist), but I have a tendency to sprinkle a line of fresh and super-finely grated parmesan or pecorino down the center where the fold will be. I can do the flip, but so often when I make these late at night I've had a few, so I try to be a little more careful. Sonny's version of sunny-side up looks terrific. I'm going to have to give it a try. I love the fact that you have the runny yolk and the crispy white.

[@ethanl4567]

Sunny side up on high heat with oil or bacon grease is the way to go for sure! The crispy white + runny yolk combo is to die for.

I like solid - but NOT crispy overcooked whites.

[@ModdingNewbie]

My favorite way to have breakfast eggs is soft poached, sort of a cross between soft-boiled and sunny side up. It's sort of like how you did your over-easy eggs in this video, except they have a solid but thin outer layer (for breaking so lots of that golden yolk leaks out into the surrounding food) and they don't get flipped. I don't like crispy brown parts in my egg white, but they have to be white, not clear ("snotty" as you put it). Solid white, runny yolk. Then go to town on it with toast, hashbrown potatoes, corned beef hash, whatever. Yum!

[@SirhcMartini]

The last egg in your video is exactly how I love it in Viet dishes, it’s sooo good especially with scallion oil. The runny egg soaks perfectly into the rice

I do like to use water and sometimes a cover to steam; to not get that brown crunchy edge.

For a french omelette; lots of butter and roll:)~More than you used actually:)~ Though your omelette was beautiful

Another secret for scrambled eggs my Grandma told me was to mix the eggs well, salt them and then let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. You will notice a slight color change. This is good. The salt emulsifies into the egg mix and actually is more uniform. Salting them after they're cooked doesn't allow the salt to mix well.

[@peterreece2340]

That is how I do mine. Beat add a little salt and mustard powder beat properly and let rest for 15 minutes. DO NOT beat again. Add to a low heat pan with room temp butter.

we have two styles of eggs in India that you might want to try and see if you like: "masala sunny side up" is when you sprinkle chopped onion, tomato and chilli powder on top of your eggs (otherwise the same as a sunny side up, but you usually avoid sprinkling stuff on the yolk as it might break). can also be flipped and done over easy. The other is called "bhurji" which is a scrambled egg but you first fry a bit of chopped green chilli, caramelize some onion, a bit of chopped tomato, and then toss in your whisked egg.

[@vntg9957]

[@syca803]

lol😂

[@lumina1104]

My favorite is poached eggs. I seldom go to the trouble at home, though. I eat more sunny side up at home since I can just heat the oil and put the eggs in and come back in 3-5 minutes. The cooking time depends on the smoke point of the oil of choice. If I use oil with a lower smoke point, I use a lower temperature and cook them a bit longer. If I use oil with a higher smoke point, I use a higher temperature and cook them for less time. Over the years, it's not too hard to learn to let the eggs cook free of supervision. Granted, keeping an eye on them matters more in the restaurant.

[@JohnB-mo4kq]

Same, but I found an easy way that doesn't require dropping them into boiling water. Melt butter or use oil in a small pan, cook two eggs until the whites start to harden, and a bit of water and cover until the yolk has a thin white layer. It's basically steaming them.

[@zaccy]

When doing sunny side up, you can also take a blow torch to the egg whites. Gives it a nice crisp while preserving the yolk.

[@Neuralatrophy]

I do my eggs on medium heat, stovetops vary of course, sunny side up kinda. I slap a transparent lid on it right away and cook till the tops just cloud over. I pull the lid and any condensation on the lid gets poured over the eggs to finish the whites. They aren't the iconic sunny side but when done well, the bottoms are a little crispy, its barely any work and the yokes are awesome ! I sometimes feed a little butter around the edges once I get em started to help crisp em up more, adds moisture to the pan as well so the tops finish nicely. Seasoning in the pan is best too cause it cooks into the egg. Hate me if you will, but I cook for me :D

Generally, there is a time and place for everything. The only time I want my fried egg well done/hard, is when it's in a bacon and egg toasted sandwich. That way, you don't lose yolk, it's not too messy, and the butter and bacon grease provide the required moisture.

[@Pugilation]

my trick there is to make sure that the yolk is more to the side of the sandwich I'm going to bite into first. Get about half of it in the first bite, then the rest is enough to lubricate the bacon.

I have no idea how this isn't more popular but here's my take on that same style you might want to try. I like to start with some fresh vegetables in the pan first like sweet peppers, onions, tomatoes, and some herbs all chopped fairly fine. Once those are cooked to near the end result texture I like I add the eggs with some more butter and start stirring aiming for a similar end result as this. The flavors, texture, and juiciness the vegetables and herbs provide really take the eggs up a few notches but maybe it's just me.

Gee, I've been making them this way for years and didn't know it was the right way. Wow. How much I love social media and the advent of cell phone cameras with the resolution and frame rate to compare to video cameras of 20 years ago. Wow.

“Crunchy sides” is what my kids call it. I love scrambled but your favorite is our family fave as well😋

I have been making the Sonny's Egg style for years and everyone loves them and have never had eggs cooked like that before. They have never had eggs that are not over cooked and have crunchy edges, also they don't look like normal sunny side up eggs. I also add a black pepper to mine. Great advice on not over cooking scrambled eggs... I grew up hating scrambled eggs because I thought that was normal. Now that I know how to undercook them I eat them all the time with everything. Scrambled Egg Tip: Crack the eggs into the hot pan and mix them with a rubber spatula instead of whisk and you get a nice mix of white and yellow in your scrambled eggs. You gotta move fast since they start cooking as soon as you get the first egg in the pan. I like to add some sharp cheddar cheese to mine... no salt when I add the cheese.

[@xordoom8467]

My grandmother who is from Alabama made scramble eggs like that my whole life and its the only way I make them now. My kids love them this way...

Great video! I’ve been cooking eggs a long time but I learned some stuff today!

@9:40 A few trips to Japan really opened my eyes to the possibilities of "wet" scrambled eggs.

[@CatineSkyi]

Also, here's a great way to enjoy #7. A simple, aromatic and spicy black sauce with the ingredients in your preferred ratio. Sauce: Chopped white onion or challots Sliced Birdseye chilli Dark soya sauce A hint of sugar Serving: Top the egg on white rice, and spoon the sauce with lots of ingredients over (but not too much sauce cos dark soya sauce is salty). Sprinkle on some crispy fried challots and a squeeze of lime on top. Spoonful of crispy egg whites, yolk coated rice, spicy crunchy toppings with umami dark soya sauce. This used to be a poor man's meal but it's so simple, so comforting and so good. My boyfriend made it for me once and I never forgot about it. I hope you try it and let me know. 😊❤

Waltuh... put the egg in the skillet Waltuh... We gotta fry it over easy, Waltuh... Just like Gus likes it, Waltuh.

[@HowBoutDemCowboys]

So he likes his scrambled eggs “undercooked” but doesn’t like over easy eggs to be “runny”… 🤔Hmmm🤷‍♂️. As a Hispanic who enjoys breakfast tacos I cannot do mushy scrambled eggs on a tortilla… but to each’s own.

[@melsilva9158]

I shared this with my daughter. She loves eggs and this video taught me things I've never even seen before. Eggcellent!

[@HalCogan]

5:20 lots of people don't know the key to perfect sunny side up with no runny white. start off with the pan at 7.5 or 8/10 heat-wise (depending on your element), crack the egg into it and let it go at the high heat for a minute or whatever until the golden ring starts to form around the outside of the egg, then turn the heat down to a 3/10 and let it finish cooking for another 3 mins or so. Perfect runny yolk but a fully cooked white.

[@guerramichael1]

I love how Walter White is showing me how to cook all the eggs instead of trying to cook something else! I love this video!!

[@S1rAdam]

The discipline it must have taken to make every egg pun before the obvious egg head joke is unimaginable. Also im watching this while eating the sunny side up eggs that I made with the water and lid method… I don’t do it because it makes the best egg, I do it because I’m lazy.

[@packedlunchbox7228]

ThatDudeLooksGreat!

[@sherylc5434]

That was a fantastic video thanks!! But you forgot basted soft, my fav. I usually butter the pan, add my eggs and on low-med heat cover with a lid and spray a little water underneath and only cook until the egg develops a thin white cover (no snotty whites lol) they are perfectly runny and fully cooked everytime and they look amazing too! ❤

[@mrv6159]

He did mention your preferred method tho😊

[@sherylc5434]

​@@mrv6159 I have a picture of my perfect basted soft eggs but it won't let me attach it here 🙈

[@sherylc5434]

​@@mrv6159 He only basted the whites with oil on Sunnyside eggs, that is not basted soft.

[@4realdustin]

Thank you so much for this egg tutorial!I am totally with you dude, over medium is the way to go unless you're looking for a creamy scramble.

[@zacharyshaul]

Make scrambled eggs like this ever since i watched this video ❤

[@rufusjohnson3800]

This is the way. 👍 Pretty darn low heat and be wary of overcooking. The eggs will keep firming up and drying out a little even after being taken out of the pan and put on plates, so don't go too long.

[@David-lr2tj]

I don't need to agree with you to enjoy this video, it was fun, thanks. Two things for me- crispy abumin taste metallic to me, and the French people I know use more heat and lots of motion to make a puffy omelette, still quite moist w/o browning. Keep loving eggs.

[@msBatFink]

the last is THE way to cook SSU..in Australia we call them Fried Eggs..nothing like that crunch and a runny yoke..Heaven 😋😋😋

[@bryanchitwood6488]

Dude, I won't make any egg puns but will say you've covered the subject extremely well, with one exception. Growing up in the mountains and valleys of Virginia, there was one egg-cooking method that ruled them all--fried in bacon grease. You splashed the white and yolk with the hot bacon grease as you fried to get the consistency of your dreams. You then took buttered toast with jam and made a bacon sandwich to mop up the eggs. People still refer to eggs "with ham and jam." Keep up the outstanding work.

[@DosBear]

My favorite is sunny side up. Simply crack the eggs into hot pan and pour in a bit of cold water and cover until that gross film on the yolk is steam cooked to perfection. All great tips regardless. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrfuriousmother]

another trick for sunny side up is to use the spatula and create tears in the egg white around the yolk so whites from the top spill into the bottom of the pan.

[@izzyxblades]

When I was little, I had a Filipino baby sitter, and she made fried eggs the way Sonny likes them--a sunnyside up egg but in a lot of oil so the edges are very crispy but the yolk is still soft. For years, I didn't understand how she achieved that, because I didn't watch how she did it. Thanks to KZbin I finally learned

[@wheelhouse15]

When it comes to scrambled eggs I hate the way most people overcook them. I love them the way you do them here.

[@SirFCJ]

You should try like the Russians do, specially about the bacon. They normally scramble egg like cantonese style, on top you put 3 to 4 slices of bacon, extremely thin slices, birch smoked, lightly cooked on one side only. Almost transparent. It’s insane!!!! All my life bacon was only crispy. The Russians changed my mind. You should never overcook a thin slice of bacon, when it’s top quality.

[@michele-kt]

I love them over medium with that little bit of crunch too. 😋

[@noctucs]

I used to hate scrambled eggs because I was burning them, I took your advice about cooking them much less and now I can't stop making eggs. Great video

[@kevinbird1104]

For stir frys i use a little vegetable oil which is rapeseed, I then add spoonfuls of water, so more like 30% oil 70% water. Check your labels, rapessed is a lot healthier than most other oils but some companies make it look like rapeseed is different to vegetable oil.

[@TheIntJuggler]

Just call it canola. No rape oil.

[@jritter305]

You underrated the finesse of the basted egg. It’s so delicious, especially on eggs benny.. 2 ⭐️

[@Toxxyc]

This is a nice video. For the past year or so I've been trying to get the "perfect egg" for myself at home. Other than you, I don't like the crunch at all. I like my eggwhite cooked though, absolutely no snot, and the yolk similar to how you cooked your over medium here. The white I want to be able to "cut with a fork", so to speak. To do that I get the pan medium to low, with some oil in there, crack the egg in and place a lid on it. After a minute I'll turn off the heat and let it sit for another minute. Then I'll heat on again, flip the eggs and keep them in the pan for 10 seconds or so, flip back, season with salt in the pan and serve. In the salty oil I'll drop my slice of bread, slam up the heat till the bread is a nice golden brown and enjoy that as well. Perfect!
