Would you like to be able to fry a perfect egg? Frying eggs may seem simple, but it actually takes a bit of technique to fry to the desired temperature without breaking your yolk. This page will show you how to fry an egg to over-easy or sunny side up. Once you've mastered the skill, you will be able to cook a delicious fried egg breakfast for anyone! Fried eggs are a great way to start the morning, or even as part of an Ulster fry for dinner.

if you're frying an egg for a sandwich, you may want a perfectly round circle.

1. Take a tuna can, and cut out both the top and bottom with a can opener. (Make sure you use a can opener that rounds the edges.)
2. Wash the can carefully, and place it in the frying pan.
3. Crack the egg into the ring, and fry until done.

Whether you are frying eggs to eat with a knife and fork, or as part of an egg sandwich, you'll want to make sure the egg is not over or undercooked. A perfect fried egg has a firm white, and a liquid yolk.

• Nonstick frying pan
• 2 teaspoons butter, oil, or bacon fat per egg
• Eggs
• Spatula
• Saucer

1. Melt the fat in the frying pan on medium high heat. (Using high heat will toughen the eggs)
2. Break the egg into a saucer, and slide it from the saucer into the frying pan.
3. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the white is set. If you want a sunny side up egg, spoon the fat over the egg, until the yolk looks flat, not shiny.
4. If you're frying the eggs over easy, flip them when the white is set, and cook for another 30 seconds (cook 45 seconds for over medium, and 1 minute for over hard).

You'll need a piece of bread with a hole cut out in the middle, in addition to everything you need to fry the egg.

1. Melt the fat in the frying pan.
2. Add the bread, and fry one side for 2 minutes.
3. Flip the bread, and crack the egg into the hole.
4. Fry for 3 minutes, and then serve sunny side up, or flip briefly for over easy.
