A cozy kitchen set, featuring a countertop with basic utensils. Five students, LISA, MIKE, EMMA, BEN, and SOPHIE, stand near the stove.
LISA (sincerely)
Welcome to our cooking tutorial, where we’ll learn how to make delicious sunny-side-up eggs. Let’s get started!
(Lisa picks up an egg and a small bowl.)
LISA (CONT’D)
First, we need an egg and a small bowl. Each of you takes an egg and cracks it into your bowl, making sure no shell falls in.
(The students follow Lisa’s instructions, cracking their eggs into their respective bowls.)
MIKE: (excitedly) I did it!
EMMA: (giggling) Me too!
BEN: (comically) Oops, a little shell snuck in mine!
SOPHIE: (encouragingly) Don’t worry, Ben. Just fish it out gently.
LISA: (supportively) Great job, everyone! Now, heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
(Each student places their skillet on the stove and adjusts the heat.)
LISA: (explaining) The non-stick skillet helps prevent the egg from sticking and makes cooking easier.
(Lisa adds a small knob of butter to her skillet, while the students follow suit.)
LISA: (CONT’D) Next, add a little butter to your skillet, and let it melt and spread.
(The students observe as the butter melts.)
MIKE: (asking) Do we need anything else?
LISA: (smiling) Just a pinch of salt and a little black pepper for seasoning. Sprinkle them on top of your egg.
(The students follow Lisa’s instructions, adding salt and pepper to their eggs.)
LISA: (satisfied) Perfect! Now, carefully slide your egg from the bowl onto the skillet.
(Each student gently slides their egg onto the skillet, showing concentration.)
LISA: (continuing) Cook your egg until the white is fully set and the yolk is still runny. It should take about 2-3 minutes.
(The students wait patiently, observing the cooking process.)
LISA: (satisfied) Once it’s cooked to your liking, use a spatula to transfer your sunny-side-up egg to a plate carefully.
(Each student gently flips their egg onto a plate using a spatula.)
LISA: (applauding) Well done, everyone! You’ve made perfect sunny-side-up eggs!
(The students smile proudly.)
LISA: (ending) That’s it for today’s tutorial. Sunny side-up eggs are a simple and delicious breakfast option. Practice this recipe, and soon you’ll be experts. Thanks for joining us!
MIKE (excitedly) Thank you, Lisa! I can’t wait to make more sunny side-up eggs at home.
EMMA: (enthusiastically) Me too! I’ll try different seasonings and toppings next time.
BEN: (comically) I hope I can crack the eggs without any shell mishaps next time!
SOPHIE: (encouragingly) You’ll get better with practice, Ben. Don’t give up!
