How to Make Eggs Over Easy 🍳
Eggs over easy are a classic breakfast favorite, featuring perfectly cooked whites and a runny yolk. Here’s how to make them just right:
Ingredients:
- Fresh eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter or oil
Steps:
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
2. Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. This helps ensure you don’t break the yolk and makes it easier to slide the egg into the pan.
3. Gently slide the eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and opaque, but the yolks are still runny.
4. Carefully flip each egg using a spatula. If you’re worried about breaking the yolk, you can use a gentle sliding motion to turn the egg over.
5. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how runny you prefer the yolk. Less time will keep the yolk runnier, while a bit more time will firm it up slightly.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Gently slide the eggs onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips for Perfect Eggs Over Easy:
1. Use fresh eggs for better consistency and flavor.
2. Cook on medium heat to avoid overcooking the whites or breaking the yolk.
3. A non-stick skillet makes flipping easier and reduces the risk of sticking.
4. Practice your flipping technique to get comfortable with it.
