EGGS OVER EASY

Categories     main-dish

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 eggs (the fresher the better)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a small non-stick skillet over low heat and add butter. As soon as the butter stops foaming, crack the eggs into the pan. Lift the handle about an inch so that the eggs pool in the far corner of the pan. Hold for 30 seconds or until the whites start to set, then lower the handle and give the pan a jiggle just to make sure there's no sticking. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to cook over low heat until the whites become opaque. Jiggle to loosen the eggs, then lift the pan, holding it about a foot above the heat. Now, flip the eggs over by pushing the pan away and snapping upward simultaneously. Once the eggs start their somersault, raise the pan to meet them so that the exposed yolks experience the softest landing possible. The goal of course is to avoid breaking the yolks. If you succeed, count to 10 slowly then flip the eggs again, slide them onto a plate and serve. If the yolks do break, act like you meant them to, fry for another minute and serve. They'll still taste great.

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into a custard cup.
  • TIP: Never crack eggs directly into a pan-always crack them into a cup or ramekin. It's the only way to make sure they cook evenly, and you can pour them into the pan right where you want them.
  • Heat the pan: Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (don't dare skimp). Brush the butter around the pan.
  • Add the eggs: When the butter stops foaming, pour the eggs into the pan, then quickly lift the handle just enough for the eggs to pool slightly on the far side. This will prevent the thin albumin from running out all over the pan.
  • Flip the eggs: After 10 to 15 seconds, smoothly lower the handle. Wait another 10 seconds, then lightly jiggle the pan just to make sure that nothing is sticking. Season with 1 pinch of kosher salt and 1 grind of black pepper and cook, still over low heat, for 1 to 11/2 minutes.
  • Jiggle again and examine the whites for opaqueness; when they're fully set but not hard, it's time to flip. Here comes the hard part: Flip the eggs by pushing the pan away from you and snapping the far edge upward. As the eggs turn, try to bring the pan up to meet them.
  • Return the pan to the heat and slowly count to 10. Re-flip the eggs to their original side. (This time it won't be so difficult.) Slide onto a warmed plate and serve immediately with toast for wiping up all the goodness.
  • TIP: Never flip the food up and bring the pan down. Try to meet the food with the pan as best as you can, thus preventing a hard-and potentially yolk-busting-landing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will have a thicker, more viscous white and a yolk that is a deep yellow or orange color. These eggs will hold their shape better when cooked over easy.
  • Heat your pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and the whites will become tough.
  • Add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl before adding them to the pan. This will help to prevent the shells from getting into the eggs.
  • Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes per side. The whites should be set and the yolks should be slightly runny.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Over easy eggs are a quick and easy breakfast or lunch option. They are also a great way to add protein to your diet. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect over easy eggs every time.
