Can you cook sunny side up eggs without a lid?

Low heat is essential for evenly cooking the whites and still getting a perfect runny egg yolk. Cover the pan. Covering the pan is key for cooking the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you can, use a pan with a glass lid so that you can keep an eye on the eggs without uncovering them.

Are sunny side up eggs supposed to be runny?

What are sunny side up eggs? Sunny side up eggs are eggs cooked until the whites are solid but the yolk is still runny. Usually it takes about 2 to 3 minutes to cook on medium low heat. The round yellow yolk gives a sun-like appearance, hence the name.

What is a trick you can do for sunny side up eggs so that they will cook more evenly?

Crack the egg directly into the pan. Let the white set on the bottom, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then use a silicone spatula to tap the unset white in three places around the yolk. This breaks the structure of the white that encases the yolk and allows the white to fall away from the yolk slightly and begin to cook.

How do you keep a sunny side up egg from spreading?

Getting the pan hot helps to prevent the egg white from spreading out too much. Turn the heat down to low, and crack the egg into the skillet. Immediately cover the pan. This will trap the heat and cook the top of the yolk.
