What is the best way to cook eggs and why is it sunny side up?
I'm kind of on the same page when I'm home. I usually order over easy at restaurants though, because they tend to over do whatever you ask for. Same with steaks at shittier places.

Because sunny side up leaves a disgusting film of snot on top of the yoke.
Over easy master race

You need a lid in your life.
>>7076394
Basted eggs is the way
>>7076422
Basted?
>>7076428
It's like sunny side up but you tilt the pan to collect the fat and spoon it over the egg. A little more labor intensive than just putting a lid on it to steam the top.

This. It's how I'll order them out.
At home, I'll fry them in olive oil, and ladle over the oil a bit (baste as another anon said). I love the frizzly bubbly crispy edges and the greenness of pressed olive oil flavor, but OPs picture is simply burned.
If I'm to vote on best way to cook eggs, probably going to be dutch baby, especially with lemon and powdered sugar. I'm a sucker for a great omelette with terrific cheese or special filling, like gyro-feta-spinach, or chunky homemade corned beef hash inside. Benedict gets my lemon love going as well, whether it's eggs Florentine or some other variation, it's about the sauce. I could enjoy huevos rancheros any time of any week. Eggs are just one of those things that aren't only best or right one way. Poached, fried, coddled, soft-boiled, scrambled, pickled, deviled, scotched, it's all good.

>lemon love
Sounds like a shitty porn title in which people stuff each other's assholes with lemons for half an hour.

>Poached, fried, coddled, soft-boiled, scrambled, pickled, deviled, scotched, it's all good.
>not that it matters, but I approve
>>7076461
Nah but devilled is the best, softboiled and poached tied for a close second.
>>7076394
Over-medium, yolk broken but still contained.
>>7076455
This sounds like something I need to try. Thanks.

Bonus points when using bacon grease.
>>7076519
my Mom basted with bacon grease
damn they were good
>>7076394
The omurice way.
>>7076621
You mean, an omelette?
Or did you not read what the thread was about?
>>7076621
Disgusting weeb shit.
>>7076621
>literal meme dish
Yea, nah, I think I'll pass
>>7076645
Weeb, yes. But disgusting?
That omelette looks really good. That's about how I make them.
>>7076621
I think I'd rather have one of those square omelettes.
When he cut it open, it literally looked like something out of a horror movie.
I'd eat it though.
>>7076394
The best way to cook eggs is in a way that lets you make a drunk skank eat a whole bowl of them.
If you cook an egg in any manner besides poached I hold nothing but disgust for you.

this shit is also great with avocado on toast with hot sauce.
so im just learning how to cook eggs
to make them, do i basically
-put no stick spray on pan
-put to medium heat
-crack eggs into pan
-put on cover
-wait a few minutes
seriously. is that basically it? is there anything different I should be doing?
>>7078534
try scrambling the eggs or using a different oil to cook them in like butter or olive oil.
I'm picky and i suck at getting a good yolk so I just bastardize the eggs with peppers, cheese, herbs, meat and no regrets.
>>7076394
Scrambled is best, with sunny side up second. Over easy is stupid. I don't care for over medium and over hard but they're not stupid because they don't have the same god damned everything as sunny side up, unlike over easy.
>Butter in hot pan
>Whisk eggs in bowl
>Pour eggs into pan
>Whisk vigorously in pan on and off heat to promote small curd
>When almost done fold omelet style
>Salt
>Pepper

>put on cover
ㅇㅅㅇ
>>7076394
Those eggs are so fucking burnt that they would be inedible.
>>7076510
God tier eggs.
>>7076510
Those eggs are burnt. They should not be brown and crispy on the edges like that. There is literally nothing worse than burnt eggs
Quiche
>>7078587
Fuck off
>>7078534
Learn to cook them in butter in a pan, then learn on how to flip them.
Watch Julia child's video on how to make an omelette in 30 seconds and practice that, you will learn a lot.
If you are using non-stick spray, cooking at medium heat, covering the pan, waiting minutes, then you are totally fucking up
>>7078583
There's literally nothing wrong with the edges being slightly crispy.
>>7076394
>what are opinions, and why do people have them?
Scrambled > Poached = Soft Boiled > Hard Boiled > Fried > Omelette
It depends on my mood.
But in general, for me, medium-boiled eggs seasoned with olive oil, cumin, ground pepper, salt and a bit of vinegar are the best. I can easily eat a half dozen that way.
For pan-fried eggs like in the OP, I'd rather not let them brown, but lower the heat and turn the egg, so the yolk and the white are firm.

>cumin
>vinegar
I like you.
>>7076394
>wut is dumb way acks qestions why be dis way
>>7076394
Poached
>>7076510
As far as fried eggs go, this is the only correct answer.
I knew some Chinese kids that would crack the egg slightly, and then hardboil the eggs with a bit of the shell missing/perforated in water with a ton of salt and spices, making super spicy hard boiled eggs
shit was so cash
