In the Portuguese language, the verb "Estrelar" primarily refers to the act of frying an egg until the edges are crispy but the yolk remains runny, often known as a "sunny side up" egg in English. The term can broadly be associated with cooking, particularly with methods that involve minimal interference with the ingredient being cooked, allowing it to take center stage, much like a star in a show. The concept of starring or featuring prominently also extends metaphorically to highlight the leading or standout element in any given context. This verb captures the essence of placing something or someone in a position of prominence or importance.
