fried eggs

Skillet breakfast staple

Fried eggs are eggs cracked into a hot pan and cooked until the whites set.

The yolk may remain runny (sunny-side up), be flipped briefly (over easy), or cooked through (over hard).

A breakfast staple, often served with toast or bacon: I'll have two fried eggs and hash browns.
