A Simple Recipe On 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.

Eggs over easy will generally need some medium low range of fire in order not to burn. The next step would be to crack some eggs into a bowl and to ensure that the yolks of the eggs are not broken up. After cracking the eggs into the bowl, they may then be added to the frying pan.

Take care when adding the eggs to the pan to make sure there will be room to flip the eggs over half-way through the cooking process. Too many eggs in the pan will result in the eggs sticking together after turning. Cooking the first side will take about two minutes.

After the two minutes period, the white of the eggs should have become more solidified as a result of the heat from the frying pan. How solid the whites of the eggs will be would depend on how high or low the heat at the bottom of the pan is. The eggs' whites will usually solidify much more quickly if the heat is high than if it is low.

Flipping the egg is going to be the real challenge in this entire effort given that this part of the process is when people are most likely to break the yolk. It is best to do this by getting a large-sized spatula and using this to flip the egg. This should be done carefully and slowly or else the yolk will no longer be full.

The cook will need to flip the eggs again to allow their other sides to cook up too. At that point, the heat at the bottom of the frying pan should be lowered in order to avoid burning those other sides since they were slightly cooked before. After the last flip, the cook may then leave the eggs for a while before turning the stove or cooker off.

The mystery has now been taken out of this simple egg preparation technique. Approximately ten minutes of effort will produce any number of well-prepared eggs. Now that you know how to make eggs over easy, add some toast and a nice cup of juice to complete a quick breakfast or lunch.
