Sunny-Side-Up Eggs
This classic egg preparation can be enjoyed with a simple side of buttered toast or turned into a more elaborate meal with crispy bacon and home fries. The eggs add a boost of protein to any meal and are a terrific topping on sautéed greens, rice bowls and avocado toast. Covering the eggs during the last minute of cooking allows the yolks to warm through while remaining runny.
