  • Author: Helen Lois
  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (2 eggs) 1x

Description

Master the art of cooking eggs over medium! This classic breakfast staple features perfectly cooked whites with a creamy, slightly runny yolk. Ideal for pairing with toast, hash browns, or your favorite breakfast sides, it’s a simple yet satisfying dish to start your day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the Pan:

    • Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
  • Crack the Eggs:

    • Crack the eggs into a small bowl (to avoid broken yolks) and gently pour them into the pan.
  • Cook the Whites:

    • Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set but the yolks are still jiggly.
  • Flip the Eggs:

    • Carefully slide a spatula under the eggs and flip them gently. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the yolk to thicken slightly while remaining partially runny.
  • Season and Serve:

    • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes

πŸ’‘ Tips:

  • For perfectly flipped eggs, use a wide spatula and a gentle hand.
  • Add a sprinkle of paprika or herbs for extra flavor.
