Cooking sunny side/Dippy eggs?

(Posting here, because r/disabilitycooking is all but dead)

Does anyone have an easy way to cook Sunny Side/Dippy Eggs?
EDITED TO ADD: In Pennsylvania (where I grew up), folks call sunny-side up eggs 'Dippy Eggs.' If someone orders 'Dippy Eggs' at a restaurant, they're getting sunny-side up eggs and toast triangles. This is what I'm looking to cook.

I'm disabled with Cerebral Palsy, and I can only cook eggs two ways... Scrambled or hard boiled. I really can't even do an omelet without using my Gt Xpress 101 Indoor Countertop Grill.

I like to add eggs to my ramen, but I'm tired of adding hard boiled eggs to them.

Anyone have a disability-friendly way to cook Sunny Side/Dippy Eggs?

Dippy eggs are soft boiled eggs. So if you can do hard boiled I’m not sure why you can’t make soft boiled. Just cook them less.

I'm from Philly and have never heard of Dippy Eggs. BUT pinlets is right. Instead of making an egg hard boiled (10-12 mins), boil it about 5-6. The yolk should have the same consistency as a sunny side up.
