Over easy eggs on a small plate with toast being dipped into the runny yolk

How to Make the Best Over-Easy Eggs (the way Grandma taught me)


  • Author: Amanda
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 eggs 1x

Description

Mastering the Over Easy Egg is easy meets a little technical and little it's in the wrist flip. Trust me, this is the easiest and tried and true way to perfect the dip dip egg. Because that's what you do with over easy eggs, you dip sourdough toast in them! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbs of ghee or grass fed butter
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Sourdough toast for serving

Instructions

  1. Melt ghee in a small nonstick skillet on medium heat. Swirl to coat.
  2. Gently crack eggs (careful to not break the yolk) into the skillet.
  3. Cook until the whites of the eggs have just set. Let the eggs cook undistrubed until the whites of the eggs are set and almost opaque except for about 1/2 inch area around the yolk. 
  4. Flip it! Carefully flip the eggs by gently sliding the spatula centered under the yolks.*
  5. Turn off the burner. Let the yolk-side cook a few seconds more. For a really runny yolk I allow about 10-15 seconds of cooking on the yolk side. 

Notes

* You can cook one egg at a time too! This way it will be slightly easier to flip!
