HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT SUNNY SIDE-UP EGGS

With golden yolks and tender, just-set whites, classic sunny-side up eggs are the best with a side of perfectly cooked crispy bacon on your breakfast plate. So how do you make them just right? Here’s how to nail classic fried eggs every time. Start off by heating a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. You want the pan large enough to hold 2 eggs at a time with a bit of space between them. You can test the temperature by pouring about 1/2 teaspoon of water into the heated pan. If water sizzles and evaporates on the pan, it means that pan is hot enough to hold the eggs in the right form. Coat and tilt the bottom of the pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (allow it to melt first). You don’t need a large amount of fat to fry the eggs because the pan is non-stick and you don’t want the eggs to turn out greasy. Gently crack the eggs into the pan to avoid breaking the yolks. You can also use an egg ring to keep the eggs round and yolks centered. As the eggs cook, their color will change from clear to opaque white. Cook until the tops of the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. This will take about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. If the oil starts to splatter, turn the heat down slightly. Remove the pan from the heat. Use a large, metal spatula (not rubber) to remove the eggs from the pan one at a time and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and any other seasonings you like.

HOW TO MAKE THE CRISPY PERFECT BACON IN TH OVEN:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil (easier cleanup) and then a layer of parchment paper on top of the foil. Lay the bacon on the baking sheet in a single layer. The bacon can be close together, but don’t let it overlap or the bacon will stick during cooking. Bake the bacon. Bake until the bacon is deep golden-brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. The baking time can vary and depends on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it. Rotate the tray at about 10 minutes and start monitoring to see how quickly the bacon cooks.

Use tongs to transfer the crispy bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and finish crisping. Serve immediately.
