Study Notes
Cooking Fried Eggs
- Over hard eggs are flipped and fried until the yolks are entirely cooked through.
- To prevent overcooking, check the egg frequently and remove it from the pan when the yolk is done.
Cooking Methods
- In a non-stick skillet, melt ½ tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, add eggs, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the white is firm, but the yolk is still runny.
- Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the yolk is fully cooked through.
- For a crispy base, heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet until lightly foaming, crack in the egg, and fry until the edges start browning and getting crispy.
Over Easy Eggs
- Over easy eggs are fried eggs that have been turned over to fry the top and cover the yolk with egg white.
- The unbroken yolk should still be fluid, while the whites should be firm.
Serving Fried Eggs
- Fried eggs are a popular breakfast item and can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as toast, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, sausages, bacon, and baked beans.
- They can also be served as an accompaniment to Asian rice preparations, such as Nasi Goreng.
General Tips
- Use fresh eggs and a high-quality non-stick skillet for the best results.
- Choose a cooking fat with a rich flavor, such as butter or olive oil, or a neutral oil like vegetable or canola.
- Keep the temperature of the fat in the pan low to prevent the bottoms from burning before the tops are done.
