⏤ The Story

Learnhow to make perfect over hard eggswith fully cooked yolks and crispy whites. Serve them with any breakfast, or add them to burgers and sandwiches!

I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of cooking eggs over hard. Personally, I think the only good part is the crispy whites. I much preferover easy eggsorover medium eggs. However, if for whatever reason you’re a fan of over hard eggs, I’ll show you how to achieve set yolks and crispy whites with ease.

See the recipe card below for the complete ingredients list and instructions.

Serve this recipe topped with chili oil or chili crisp alongside other breakfast staples like pancakes, waffles, sausage, or crispy bacon. Or, use the eggs to top avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, or burgers.

⏤ The Method

Step by step.

  1. 1

    Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt.

  2. 2

    Once the butter is lightly sizzling, crack the egg into the skillet, and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Baste the egg with any excess butter to help cook the top egg whites.

  4. 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 two to three minutes or until the egg yolk is completely set.

  5. 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, and older eggs float.Storage:This recipe is best served right away. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To serve, reheat your leftovers in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Or, in a greased skillet over low to medium heat, allowing the eggs to reach a temperature of 165°F, in order to meet toFDA guidelines.
