A fried sunny side up egg is a popular breakfast dish found in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in American, European, and Asian fare. It consists of a single egg cooked gently in a skillet with oil or butter, leaving the yolk intact and runny, while the egg whites firm up and slightly crisp around the edges. Nutritionally, sunny side up eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B2, B12, and D, as well as minerals including phosphorus and selenium. The yolk contains healthy fats and choline, which supports brain health. However, cooking with excessive oil or butter can increase calorie and fat content, and consumption should be mindful of dietary cholesterol for those with specific health concerns. A versatile and simple meal, it pairs well with vegetables, whole-grain toast, or lean meats, making it a balanced option depending on preparation and accompaniments.
