Eggs Over Easy image

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.

These eggs were a bit too runny for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll cook them a little longer next time.

I'm not a huge fan of eggs, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were light and fluffy, and the butter and salt really enhanced the flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
