Some of you may recall Charlie creating his own breakfast 'sun' using one sunny-side up egg, and 6 pieces of bread cut into soldiers as the rays of the sun. Well, recently he came up with a new idea. One morning for breakfast he asked for 'smiley' eggs. Upon questioning, he told me that meant two sunny eggs as the eyes. So, I've been making this:

That's adorable! But my mother's voice in me is screaming that sunny side up eggs aren't safe...

Not safe? Really? Uh-oh. (although he doesn't always eat the yellow part, so maybe that's okay?)

Well, it's basically an undercooked egg...potential for bacteria and such. My mom still yells at me for eating over easy and soft-boiled. Lemme see what I can google.

Make of it what you will - there's definitely an increased risk. People still eat rare meat so...

You should check out the recent thread about salmonella in my raw cookie dough entry (whitmanschild and lietya were talking about it) - apparently the risk of eating raw/undercooked eggs has decreased greatly in recent years thanks to new sterilization/safety measures. I think it's one of those holdovers that we have from years ago - I don't really think it's that unsafe now, though if I die tomorrow from eating sunny-side-up eggs you may shake your head and cluck your tongue over this comment...

yay! Flying toast!

If you do bacon, that makes a good mouth for smiley eggs. Of course, then you need pancakes for the round-faceness. Okay, now I'm hungry.

It is possible to get in-shell "pasturized" eggs that act like regular eggs but are bacteria-free...saw them on Good Eats eggnog show for example. I bet its an irradiation process, but don't actually know. I'm sure they are hard to find and expensive, but that would be one solution.
