This recipe describes how to make over easy eggs, where the eggs are fried until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. The eggs are flipped gently to cook the top side slightly, resulting in a delicate and flavorful breakfast option.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat being sure to tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the butter.
Carefully crack the eggs and add to the skillet, discard the shells. Season with salt and cook until the whites are almost set and the yolks are still runny.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the eggs one at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15-20 seconds then transfer to a plater.
