The Basics Of How To Make Eggs Over Easy

By Alex Sheen


One of the most common meals in the world is eggs over easy. A lot of people will typically take it as a meal at breakfast or may choose to eat it as lunch with other foods like bacon, bread or sausages. Anyone can use the following recipe to know how to make eggs over easy.

The simplest method, when preparing this dish, is to use a clean pan for frying and use some oil. A standard choice of oil would be canola oil, but many types of oil would suffice. With any oil of choice, very lightly cover the entire bottom of the pan. The egg should not be swimming in oil. The oil serves only as a means of eliminating the possibility of the egg sticking to the pan.

Keep the heat below the pan at a medium level to avoid burning the eggs while cooking. Crack the egg, being careful to keep the yolk intact, and gently pour into the pan. Add as many eggs as necessary in relation to the number of people being served.

It is important for cooks to avoid placing too many eggs into the pan at one time or else the yolks will eventually start to break. Just place one or two into a bowl and then dump these directly into the pan. Once the eggs have been placed in the pan, simply wait for about two minutes while they cook.

Once these two minutes have passed the heat from the pan will have caused the egg whites to start solidifying. You should note that the solidification of the egg whites will be dependent upon the cooking temperature. At high heats, this process is going to be a lot faster than if the fire is kept at a very low level.

The hardest part with eggs over easy is with the flipping of the eggs in the pan, since this is usually where most people will generally break up their eggs' yolks. The best way to flip the eggs in the pan will be with the use of a big spatula. This should be done very slowly and carefully too in order to avoid breaking the yolks of the eggs.

The final step in this process is to flip it over once more so that the opposite side can cook. The fire should be lowered at this stage because the second side is already partially cooked and could become burned otherwise. So, after having completed the final flip, it is possible to leave the egg for a bit and then turn the burner off entirely.

Ultimately, this is an extremely simple recipe on how to make eggs over easy. It is easy to see that it will take less than fifteen minutes to complete this dish, given how simple it is to do. Serve these eggs with a bit of toasted bread and a cup of coffee or fresh orange juice on the side in order to enjoy an amazing breakfast or brunch.
