When an egg is "over easy," the yolk is a little firm around the edges, but maintains mostly a liquid consistency. This type of preparation cooks the eggs on both sides and results in an egg that is less runny than a sunny side up egg.c
Ingredients and Equipment
Instructions
- Place frying pan over low heat.
- Melt enough butter to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Crack the egg into the pan, but take care to not separate the yolk.
- Watch for the white edges of your frying egg to become opaque and mostly cooked. The egg liquid close to the yolk should still be runny and liquid in appearance.
- Tilt your pan to a 45 degree angle, then slide your spatula gently under your egg.
- Flip your egg onto the other side. Make adjustments to any portion of your egg that is not lying flat against the pan.
- Cook for 15 seconds after flipping.
- Season your egg as desired.
- Plate your fried egg and serve.
Tips and Suggestions
- Warm your pan before cooking and ensure all butter has melted.
- Flip your egg once the white edges become opaque.
- Season your egg with a variety of your favorite spices. (optional)
- Cook for 15 seconds on the second side to avoid over cooking the yolk.
