Making perfect over easy eggs may seem intimidating, but it’s actually pretty simple to do. As long as you work quickly and flip gently, the process is a breeze and is one of the fastest methods for cooking eggs.
My secret to the best flavor is using butter over oil and salting the eggs quickly once they’re added to the pan. Try it out, and you may never make eggs another way again.
See the recipe card below for the complete ingredients list and instructions.
⏤ The Method
Step by step.
- 1
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt.
- 2
Once the butter is lightly sizzling, crack the egg into the skillet, and season with salt and pepper.
- 3
Baste the egg with any excess butter to help cook the top egg whites.
- 4
Cook for two to three minutes or until the edges of the egg turn lacy and golden brown. Then, gently turn the egg with a silicone spatula, and cook for 30 seconds.
- 5
Remove the pan from the heat, and transfer to a plate to serve.
⏤ Chef's Notes
*Use fresh eggs for the best results. To test your eggs’ freshness, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink while older eggs float.Storage:I don’t recommend making over easy eggs ahead of time!
