A Little Personal History:

I’ve always liked the look of “sunny side” up eggs, but often the whites aren’t cooked enough. This recipe gets around that. If you really want, you can even cook the yolks, well done, yet still keep the “sunny side” up look to the egg.
And what raise these sunny side up eggs to the next level … a little paprika. Trust me 🙂

If you don’t want to go through the effort of poaching eggs, yet yolks soft for your Eggs Benedict or BELT sandwich, this is a great alternative to cooking the eggs.
