25 Times #putaneggonit made us drool

There’s a reason a runny yolk is your one and only.

You just can’t stop looking at the scintillating brunch pictures all across the Web. You can almost feel the warm yolk running down your chin. You don’t need help getting excited over a perfect fried egg, but here’s some food porn anyway.

What is this salad? I see thin-cut roasted potatoes. I see creamy dressing, bacon, cheese and tomatoes. But most important, I see a perfect, runny egg yolk crowning the entire thing.

There is a really great yolk-to-white ratio on this plate right now, and I just can’t look away.
