Add a splash of vinegar and create a whirlpool before gently adding the eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunny-Side-Up:<\/strong> Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a little butter and crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. The Extras: Adding Variety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A jam-worthy breakfast isn\u2019t complete without a few extras:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avocado Toast:<\/strong> Mash a ripe avocado with a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper.
