Homemaking Maven: How to Simply Cook Eggs Over Easy

Breakfast!

Can we really ever get enough?

Never!

Not this lady.

So here is a wonderfully easy egg recipe.

Over easy in fact. Ha ha!

Eggs over easy are my favourite!

The delicious firm egg white surrounded by the warm liquid yolk.

I'm drooling!

I love mopping up the yolk with hot buttered toast.

Mmmmm....

And it took me a very long time to figure out the secret

to cooking a perfect over-easy egg

(hint: it involves a pan lid and a timer).

Ready for more breakfast!?

Or lunch, or dinner or midnight snack? *wink*

Eggs Over Easy

Need

Stove top

Frying pan with lid

Timer

Flipper

1-2 tsp Oil (I use canola)

1 Egg

Salt, Pepper or Other preferred seasoning

Instructions

1. Heat the frying pan to medium on the stove top for 4 minutes. All of my ranges have had cooking dials with numbers 1-9. On my glass top range I could set the dial to #5, but on my hotter coil burner range I set the dial to #4. The real secret of this recipe is finding that sweet heat spot on your range.

2. Add 1-2 tsp (a good squirt!) of oil to the pan. Rotate the pan to coat in oil or simply move the oil around using your flipper.

3. Set timer to 2 minutes. Carefully crack egg (so as not to break the yolk) into the pan. Add seasonings as desired. I eat my eggs without seasoning. Just toast and butter! Cover with lid and start timer.

4. Optional - Toast and butter your delicious homemade bread!

5. After 2 minutes the egg should be set and edges browning if correct egg cooking temperature was achieved. If the egg browns too quickly or slowly adjust the range dial as needed. Flip egg (carefully so as not to break the yolk) and cook another 20 seconds.
