a way of preparing fried eggs where the egg is cooked on one side until the white is set, and then flipped briefly to cook the yolk slightly while keeping it partially runny
What is "egg over easy"?
An egg cooked over easy produces a simple yet distinctive fried egg with a runny yolk and fully cooked white. The technique involves cooking the egg only until the white is set, then carefully flipping the egg to cook the yolk briefly on the second side. When executed well, the result is a fried egg with maximum contrast in flavor, color and texture - the deeply savory, sunset-hued yolk spread over the crisp, yellow-edged white. The name "over easy" refers both to the ease of flipping the egg without disturbing the yolk, as well as the relaxed style of cooking that produces an irresistibly soft-centered fried egg.
