Introduction
Learn how cooking time after flipping determines the texture of fried eggs. Adjusting the time on the second side produces over easy with a fluid yolk, over medium with a thick oozing yolk, or over hard with a fully cooked center.
Step 1
Heat a skillet with butter or cooking fat and crack an egg into the pan.
Step 2
Cook until the bottom white is set, then gently flip the egg over.
Step 3
Cook on the second side according to desired doneness: briefly for over easy (runny yolk), slightly longer for over medium (thick and slow-oozing yolk), or fully cooked through for over hard (completely solid yolk).
Step 4
Transfer the cooked eggs onto a plate and serve.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
The primary difference between over easy, over medium, and over hard eggs is the duration cooked on the second side after flipping.
Over easy yields tender whites and a very fluid, runny yolk.
Over medium produces a thicker, jammy yolk that oozes out slowly.
Over hard cooks the yolk and white until completely firm and solid.
