sunny side

Eggs cooked upward

Sunny side refers to the aspect of something that receives sunlight, or figuratively, the optimistic or cheerful perspective: Look on the sunny side.

In cooking, sunny side up describes an egg fried on one side only, leaving the yolk exposed and unbroken like a small sun: I'll have my eggs sunny side up.
