Hi Tamara
Eggs-cellent question. :lol: I'd write "sunny-side up".
But, we have two basic sorts of fried eggs in the US. You forgot to mention "over easy". 8)
Both of these phrases are considered to be adjectives.

Hi Tamara,
I have no wish to overegg the situation so I'll make no comment. Hope you get the yoke.

Sure as eggs is eggs, all of you have egged me on to add my two eggs and now you have me scrambling for 'egg' words. This will probably look like an egg-and-spoon race and I'll end up getting egg on my face, I know.
Well, as they say, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. |

Alan, a good joke (and/or the peeled and wasted remnants © of my sense of humour :) ) always helps (help??? :)) me to endure the yoke. :)
