Over Easy (Eggs)

Over easy eggs are flipped to cook briefly on both sides, resulting in fully set whites and a runny yolk contained within a thin layer of cooked egg white. The second side cooks for only 15 to 20 seconds, just enough to lightly sear the top while keeping the yolk liquid. This style provides the security of fully cooked whites while maintaining the rich, flowing yolk perfect for breakfast sandwiches.

  • Flip gently: Use a thin spatula and flip in one confident motion to avoid breaking the yolk.

  • Cook briefly on second side: Only 15 to 20 seconds prevents overcooking the yolk.

  • Start with medium heat: First side needs proper white-setting before the quick flip.

  • Use room temperature eggs: They cook more evenly and are less likely to break when flipped.

  • Check doneness by touch: Gently press yolk to gauge runniness before removing from heat.
