Quoted:
I call them 'Over-Easy', which is what most breakfast dives call them (I have never heard the term over medium), it's the way I make mine if I'm not making them 'Sunny Side Up'
I like my eggs slightly runny.

This.

Sunny side up is a cracked egg fried in a pan until the underside of the white is set and can be slid out of the pan onto a plate.

Over easy is the next level of ‘done’ by flipping a sunny side up egg over and cooking until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.

Over medium is when the yolk starts to set, but is a more creamy texture.

Over hard is yolk fully cooked.

Popped & solid yokes for egg(s) on a sandwich, otherwise runny...

Poll fail.

An over easy egg is an egg that’s been fried on one side only & both the white & yellow are runny. The egg in the pictures has been flipped over & fried on both sides & is thus an over medium egg.

Dippy egg? Good grief.

No. You describe sunny side up.

The “over” part of over easy, over medium means the egg was turned over.

Fried for a quick 20 seconds and then turned OVER EASY so the yoke don’t get broke.

Then what's "Over Easy"? I thought Over Easy was a flipped egg to set the white over a runny yolk. Over Medium is a lightly set yolk while Over Hard is a set yolk like a hard boiled egg.

Thats where I see it. Easy is a loose white still and maybe runny. Medium is no loose/runny whites.

Over Easy, some places you might need to ask for Over Medium to be sure the white won’t be runny.

Too runny for over medium.

Silky yolk is over easy.

Gelatinous, translucent yolk, over medium.

Solid yolk, over hard

That’s a well cooked egg.

Those clearly have runny yolks.

Over medium is where the yolk has gelled and is no longer runny.

Over easy still has a runny yolk.

Over hard is where the yolk is fully cooked, similar to a hard-boiled egg.

You are correct on each point. The entire point of over easy is fully cooked whites with runny yolks. If you want runny whites why bother flipping?

An egg should have the consistency of poon tang.

Whites like labia, barely firm but with some give. Yolk like da juice. Slippery and runny.

That's ridiculous. Over means you flipped the egg over and cooked both sides. Over medium means you cooked the yolk long enough for it to be soft, not runny.

Sunny side up is cooked on one side

Looks like FPNI, I would not expect whites to be set with over easy.

As a kid we called them dippit eggs, because you take your toast and dip it.

They're over easy if the yolk is runny, regardless of what the white is.

No they're not. You order over easy at Waffle House and the white not on the the yolk will be clear (not cooked through)

Over easy= fully runny, unset yolk encased by whites. The whites are set; A proper, classical over easy will also have no browning on the whites.

Over medium= partially set yolks encased by whites. The yolks are mainly jelly like and can have a very little bit of liquid yolks. A little color on the whites is acceptable.

Over hard=fully cooked and set yolks. Browning on the whites is expected.

Sunny side up= exposed, runny yolks with whites fully set under the yolks. I have heard arguments about browning on the whites or not.

Looks kinda halfway between over easy and over medium.

My wife used to call them dippy eggs. I’d never heard them called that before I heard her do it.
