Quoted: I call that undone and back into the pan until its crispy and not leaking all over the damn plate View Quote This, growing up we ate eggs with the running center and I hated it. The only good thing about eggs that were fried this way is my grandmother would fry some hand sliced bacon, about 1/4" thick and after the bacon came out the eggs went in....they tasted real good. Now all my eggs get scrambled and some salsa on the side. If not scrambled, I will fry them like this until the cold is solid |

Quoted: You guys are weird. There is not a single way to cook an egg that I don't like. To answer the question, that's over easy. Over medium has some consolidated cooked yolk and some runny. Hence the medium. Cooked through is over hard. View Quote Quoted: Disagree. Over medium means the yolk has just a bit of runny. Yolk has started to be solid. Those pics are a full runny yolk. The entire yolk. So it’s an easy yolk. The over is only if you turn the egg over. Over hard is full solid yolk. May as well order your steak well done, because it’s ruined. View Quote Quoted: Then why is it "Over"? You're describing "Sunny Side Up". View Quote |

Basted.
Rather than flip the egg, spoon hot butter over it so the top white gets cooked without overdoing the yolk. |

Quoted: They're over easy if the yolk is runny, regardless of what the white is. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: 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. Technically, over easy means whites are not completely set and the yolk is fully runny. Looks like most of the pics are over easy. Yolk is very runny. I bet if you could examine, the white would still be not set, underneath the surface. Over medium has the yolks starting to thicken. White set completely. Imho, medium is better. Yolk has more texture and stands up to mixing with my gravy. Or, at least doesn't drip off my toast and into my beard. |

Quoted: 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 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: FPNI 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. Sunny side up is cooked on one side No it doesn't. Ya know how there are varied levels of cooking the yolk. Now try to imagine there are varied levels of cooking the white, too. Can't do it can you? Open your mind to what people are trying to tell you. It's right there in front of you 50 times in this thread, and you still fight it. lol |

Quoted: Quoted: They're over easy if the yolk is runny, regardless of what the white is. Yes! I'd say that if the white isn't set, they're not done. I suppose you could request them "undercooked." Easy, medium, and hard is a reference to the yolk. |

You can do the same with sunny side up, lower heat & a lid—just wait until the runny white is opaque.

It's "eggs , over easy" military style as you order them. It's "over-easy eggs" using over-easy as an adjective. Or "over easy eggs" with a technically lazy adverb describing how they are "over". They are (turned or flipped) over, easily. So, depends on the context. You would order bacon, "bacon, crispy". But you would describe the bacon on your plate, Samuel L Jackson style, " Now, that's some crispy bacon, muthah fuckah." |

Quoted: OK, I'll bite. What does over easy look like to you? View Quote I think he is referring to the top pic where you can see a little brown. Both versions are acceptable according to the culinary books I have. They are just different styles. Classic French, iirc, says no color on the whites. If you get eggs at my house, you're getting brown, lacey, crispy, glorious edges with the yolks slightly thickened. Or maybe something like this, if I like you. Attached File |

Quoted: Wrong Over medium is firm white with runny yolks. View Quote Incorrect, What you describe is over easy. Easy, Medium and Hard tells you how the yolks are cooked, not the whites. ETA, from my previous post: 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. These definitions are taught by every Culinary training program and by every quality, skilled Chef I have worked with. There are many misconceptions on the definition of what egg doneness, which is why I have always avoided cooking breakfast as Chef. You can cook a perfect classical eggs over easy and someone will say “this is wrong, eggs over easy is (insert personal definition)”. It is worse than dealing with meat temperatures. |

Over medium is firm white with semi-gelatinous yolks. The condition of the “over” is all about the yolk, not the white. Over easy - flipped, silky yolks Over medium - flipped, semisolid yolks Over hard- flipped, firm yolks It’s not that complicated |

That's not over medium. It's not even close. That's a classic over easy egg. The whites have zero to do with easy, medium, or hard.

Quoted: 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. View Quote That's what i call it. Sunny side up is a runny yolk and white on top, with crispy bottom from not being flipped. My wife and kids call them "bubble eggs". All I was served as a kid was scrambled, so we didn't have any cute family nicknames for fried eggs, lol. My preference as an adult is over easy. |

I can still hear soldiers yelling out how they like their eggs as the edge towards the chow hall mess as the cook is pouring pairs of cracked eggs on the skillet.
Fried Hard....Over easy...Scrambled...Over medium.... Ah the good ol days. |

Quoted: Over easy is a flipped egg with the white still like snot around the yolk. Over medium is a cooked white with runny yolk. Over well is solid yolk. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You people who erroneously believe that over easy is called over medium - what do you call actual over medium eggs? Over easy is a flipped egg with the white still like snot around the yolk. Over medium is a cooked white with runny yolk. Over well is solid yolk. This is how I've always understood it as well. I may be wrong but it's how I've always classified each type of cook on the egg. I usually shoot to be in between the first two. A tad bit of runny white around the yoke ensures a near perfect runny yolk. I feel bad for people who don't like runny yolk eggs but I understand not all people do like it. Just makes things so much better for breakfast. |

See my post above on the classical definition of each doneness. Again, this why I avoided cooking breakfast on lines if egg doneness was involved. Many high end Chefs only serve scrambled eggs with their brunch dishes for this reason. |
