Preparing eggs over easy is a simple yet delicious way to start your day, and it's quick enough to fit into even the busiest mornings. This recipe uses basic ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen: eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Follow these tips to achieve perfectly cooked eggs with a slightly runny yolk and a well-seasoned taste.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather 2 fresh eggs, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about a minute.
- Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the heated skillet and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the oil.
- Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. It's best to do this close to the surface of the pan to avoid breaking the yolks.
- Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper evenly over the eggs while they cook.
- Gently slide a spatula under each egg and flip it over carefully to avoid breaking the yolks. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
- Once cooked to your preference, slide the eggs out of the skillet and onto a plate.
- Serve your eggs over easy immediately with your choice of sides, such as toast, avocados, or sautéed vegetables.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Allow the skillet to fully heat before adding the olive oil; this ensures even cooking.
- Cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking the yolks.
- Gently flip the eggs to keep the yolk intact – a quick, confident motion will help.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper as soon as they hit the skillet to enhance the flavor.
With minimal ingredients and a few key tips, you can master the art of cooking eggs over easy. This recipe provides a tasty and nutritious option for any meal. Enjoy your perfectly seasoned, runny-yolk eggs with a slice of toast or as a topping on a fresh salad.
