2. Fried eggs call for perfectly fresh eggs, the
correct heat level, an appropriate amount
of cooking fat, and a deft hand. Fried eggs
may be served sunny side up (not turned)
or over (turned once). Fried eggs may be
basted with fat as they fry. Using very
fresh eggs is the only way to ensure a rich
flavor and good appearance of the finished
dish.
4. 1. White should be
shiny, uniformly set,
and tender, not
browned, blistered
or crisp at edges.
5. 2. Yolk should be set properly
according to desired
doneness. Sunny side-up
yolks should be yellow and
well rounded. In other styles,
the yolk is covered with a thin
layer of coagulated white.
