Eggs Over Easy Looks Like a Face
Perfectly cooked over easy eggs with a runny yolk. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
These easy to cook eggs can be ready in just a few minutes.
Over Easy
Oh, that perfectly cooked egg with a runny center is one of my favorite ways to cook eggs. I love breaking open the center and letting the yolk ooze out over my plate. It's perfect for mopping up with a piece of buttered toast.
Fried Eggs
There's just nothing easier or more perfect than a fried (or sauteed) egg. But knowing exactly how to fry an egg to your liking can sometimes be a bit tricky.
There are four main types of fried eggs; sunny side up, over easy, over medium and over hard.
A sunny side up egg is an egg that is only cooked from the bottom side up. The top looks like a beautiful little sun that's facing upward!
Over easy are cooked first on one side, then flipped and cooked lightly and flipped back again. The egg white is fully cooked, but the yolk is nice and runny.
Over medium is cooked much the same way as over easy eggs, but they are cooked a bit longer. The yolk is mostly cooked through, but is still a bit runny in the center.
Over hard eggs means there is no runny yolk. You can still have a bit of just slightly undercooked yolk or you can make certain every bit of the yolk is fully cooked through.
Ingredients
Just a few simple ingredients is all you need - fresh eggs, a pat of butter and a little salt and pepper.
Step by step directions
- Heat a pan over low heat
- When pan is warm, add a ½ tablespoon of butter. Allow butter to melt and get bubbly.
- Crack egg into pan over melted butter
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Cook over low heat until most of the white has set, about 1-2 minutes
- Carefully flip egg over and cook for an additional minute
- Flip egg back to original side up and then remove from pan and serve
Recipe tips
- Heat pan slowly over low heat.
- Cook over low heat. If the heat is too high, the white of the egg will become crispy around the edges
- Use a thin spatula to help flip the eggs
- Cook just a few eggs at a time and make certain eggs don't touch each other. Don't overcrowd the pan.
- Wipe out pan between each batch of eggs if cooking multiple batches
- Serve immediately
Best pan for frying eggs
In order to cook really good fried eggs, you do want a good pan. The best is a well seasoned cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet.
Be certain to heat pan over a low heat before adding butter and eggs.
Serving suggestions
The best part of an over easy egg is the runny center. I like to mop up every last drop with any of the following
- Avocado toast
- Toasted wheat bread
- Pancakes
- Oven roasted potatoes
