Telur Ceplok, or sunny-side-up eggs, are a breakfast staple loved for their simplicity and versatility. Whether paired with toast or rice or enjoyed alone, these eggs delight the palate. Here’s how to make them perfectly every time:
Ingredients:
- Fresh eggs (1-2 per serving)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Allow it to heat up, but not to the point of smoking.
- Crack the Eggs: Gently crack the eggs into a small bowl or cup, careful not to break the yolks.
- Add to the Pan: Carefully pour the eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart to prevent them from colliding.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs according to your taste preferences.
- Cook Until Set: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the whites are fully set, but the yolks are still runny about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Carefully transfer the sunny-side-up eggs to a plate using a spatula.
Tips for Perfect Telur Ceplok:
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and appearance.
- Make sure the pan is well-heated before adding the eggs to prevent sticking.
- For a richer flavor, cook the eggs in butter instead of oil.
- If you prefer firmer yolks, briefly cover the skillet with a lid towards the end of cooking.
Variations:
- Herb-infused Eggs: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or thyme over the eggs just before serving.
- Cheesy Eggs: Sprinkle grated cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking for a gooey, flavorful twist.
- Spicy Eggs: Drizzle hot sauce or sprinkle chili flakes over the eggs for a spicy kick.
