Introduction:

Frying an egg may seem like a simple task, but there are actually several methods to get that perfect fried egg. In this article, we will discuss how to make the perfect fried egg over easy, medium, and hard. So whether you enjoy your eggs with a runny yolk or fully cooked through, we’ve got you covered for a delicious breakfast.

Over Easy Fried Egg:

1. Heat your frying pan: Put a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add a small amount of butter or cooking oil. Allow the butter to melt and spread evenly over the pan.

2. Crack the egg: Gently crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk.

3. Add the egg to the pan: Gently slide the egg from the bowl into the heated pan.

4. Cook and flip: Allow the egg to cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set. Then carefully slide a spatula under the egg and quickly flip it over.

5. Cook briefly on other side: Let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on its other side, just enough time for the white to set and yolk to still be slightly runny.

6. Serve: Gently slide the spatula under the egg again and transfer it to a plate. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Medium Fried Egg:

1. Follow steps 1-4 from Over Easy Fried Egg.

2. Cook longer on second side: Allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes on its other side, until the yolk is cooked halfway through (partially solid).

3. Serve: Remove the egg from the pan and serve with salt and pepper if desired.

Over Hard Fried Egg:

1. Follow steps 1-4 from Over Easy Fried Egg.

2. Cook for even longer on second side: Once you flip the egg, let it cook for about 3 minutes on its other side so the yolk turns solid, and no longer runny.

3. Break the yolk: Using your spatula, gently break the yolk and allow it to cook briefly, about 30 seconds.

4. Serve: Remove the perfectly cooked over hard fried egg from the pan and season with salt and pepper if desired.
