How you can cook these eggs
You can use these directions to prepare four servings of sunny side-up, poached, and over-easy eggs for one egg per person. However, if you are using scrambled eggs, then you must count 2 eggs per person.
1. Sunny Side-up EggsMelt two teaspoon i.e. 10ml of butter into a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Now, break 4 eggs one by one into the skillet. Fry the eggs until the whites set. You should cook the mixtures for about 3 minutes at least.
