Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfect Over Easy Egg.
Step 1
To start your delicious egg dish, grab an 8-inch nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
Add a generous pat of butter and let it melt, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Once the butter is bubbling gently, crack an egg right into the skillet.
Step 4
Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1 and a half to 2 minutes, watching as the egg white transforms into a firm, set layer while the yolk remains beautifully runny.
Step 5
When the time is just right, carefully slide a spatula under the egg and flip it over, being gentle to keep that precious yolk intact.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 15 to 20 seconds, just enough to achieve your preferred level of doneness while ensuring that yolk stays luscious and liquid.
Step 7
Once it’s done, transfer the egg to a plate, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper, and serve it up immediately.
Step 8
Enjoy this simple yet satisfying dish that’s perfect for any time of day!.
