Sunny side up eggs - safe for toddlers?

DS is really picky, but one of the things he likes is eggs. He likes scrambled eggs, but my mom was having a sunny side up egg the other day, and he wanted some of hers. He loved it. I didn't think anything of it until tonight when we were doing breakfast for dinner. I was about to make sunny side up eggs, but then I thought maybe it wasn't safe for LO because its runny and not 100% cooked, like other types of eggs. I looked online, but found answers both ways. I ended up making sunny side up eggs for DH and I and scrambled eggs for DS. I'll ask his pedi. at his next appointment, just wanted to see what you ladies thought.

Please no flames. I'm hoping this isn't as stupid as the can I eat a fingernail full of feta while PG questions.

    I'm not an expert or anything, but I believe that if your eggs are pasteurized (most are, unless you get them from a farmer's market or local farm) you don't have to worry.  That's what Alton Brown says, anyway. :)

    I don't know what you ped will say and I've never asked mine, but DS has been eating his eggs over medium (runny yolks) since he was about 13 months old.  The kid LOVES them that way and doesn't particularly like them any other way (including scrambled).  We have NO family history of any kind of food allergies though, so I tend to be a little more lax with food stuff than some people.

    I hope it is ok. DS loves them that way.
