OLD-FASHIONED RUNNY EGGS AND TOAST



Old-Fashioned Runny Eggs and Toast image

The title says it all. This is something many people used to know how to make, but is rapidly becoming a "lost art".

Categories     Breakfast

Time 4m

Yield 1-2 eggs, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 egg
1 -2 slice toast (buttered toast recommended)
1/2-1 cup cooking oil (enough to fill a skillet 1/2 inch)
1 dash salt (to taste)
1 dash black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil in a skillet over med to med-high heat.
  • When oil is hot, gently crack egg(s) and break open right over the grease, trying not to break the yolks. If you do break the yolk and want to try again, let the damaged egg cook a bit before taking it out or you'll have a hard time of it.
  • Start making the toast.
  • Grab a spatula and wait until the bottom of the egg(s) turns white (you can no longer see the bottom of the pan through it).
  • Using the back side of the spatula blade (by holding the spatula normal, then twisting it in your hand 1/2 turn), splash the hot oil over the top.
  • Continue doing this until both the egg white and yolk have a white film over the top. This should occur just about the time the toast is ready.
  • Carefully remove the egg(s) to a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with the toast.
  • To eat, break the white skin on the yolk to get to the runny goodness. Dip toast pieces in the yolk and enjoy!
  • Note: Until you get the hang of it, you should keep other people and pets away from the skillet while you're cooking. Otherwise, someone will likely end up on the receiving end of an over-ambitious flick of the spatula when you're trying to cook the tops. There are recipes here that describe other similar (and safer) ways to cook eggs with "runny" yolks, but if you want that old-fashioned, greasy-spoon, crispy-edged, fried-egg taste, there's just no substitute for this method.

My mom made this on special days for breakfast. It was a family favorite growing up. Now I make for my hubby on those "special" days that I want to say he's tops in my book. You may wish to double this recipe for big eaters or if no fruit and meat accompany the meal.

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 -4 slices bread, to toast
butter

  • Whisk in flour.
  • When bubbly, whisk in milk a little at a time.
  • Add salt.
  • Continue to whisk til thick and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat and add chopped eggs.
  • Toast and butter slices of bread.
  • Lay slices on individual plates and spoon on Creamed Eggs.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect runny consistency, cook the eggs for exactly 3 minutes. If you prefer your eggs less runny, cook for 2 minutes, or for a firmer yolk, cook for 4 minutes.
  • Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Other herbs and spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder, can also be added for extra flavor.
  • Toast the bread to your desired level of crispiness. Toasted bread will help to soak up the runny egg yolk and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the eggs and toast immediately. Runny eggs are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
