Peanut butter and banana are the original power couple.
By stretching an egg with a little tofu, you reduce the cholesterol and saturated fat.
A little butter adds richness.

We use just a tiny amount of salt here, because it’s easy to oversalt eggs.
Pull them from the heat the instant they’re done so they don’t turn tough and rubbery.

Pecan butter adds a nutty flavor, which gets balanced by the natural sweetness of the pear.
Plus they make smoothies a cinch: they can go straight from the freezer to the blender.
Pristine Sunny-Side Up Eggs
Heat control is crucial here.

Too much heat, and the whites will toughen and brown at the edges.
Not enough, and the yolks will cook partway through by the time the whites are set.
Listen to the pan, and watch the whites for cues that your pan is properly heated.
Jordan Provost
We use a little extra oil in this dish so there’s enough for basting.
The hot oil baste lets you set the whites without covering the pan and clouding the yolks.
Season after the eggs are done so the basting doesn’t wash off the salt and pepper.
Pair with peanut butter to keep you fuller longer.
Enjoy this toast for a quick breakfast or snack.
Adding a bit of brown sugar boosts that nostalgia even more.
