Description
A simple and reliable recipe for perfectly cooked over medium eggs, delivering tender whites and slightly runny yolks with a delicate touch of olive oil for enhanced flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 medium eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Heat the pan: Heat a ceramic non-stick pan on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil or avocado oil to lightly coat the surface.
- Crack the eggs: Gently crack the 3 eggs into the pan, spacing them apart to avoid crowding.
- Cook the eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the whites begin to set.
- Flip the eggs: Use a silicone slotted spatula to carefully slide under each egg and gently flip them, taking care not to break the yolks.
- Finish cooking: Cook the eggs on the second side until the yolks reach your desired doneness; over medium means yolks are partially set but still slightly soft. You can gently press the yolk with your finger to check softness.
- Serve: Transfer the eggs to a plate and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Using a ceramic non-stick pan ensures even cooking and easy flipping.
- Medium-low heat helps cook the eggs gently, preventing browning and crispy edges.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
- The key to perfect over medium eggs is gentle handling to avoid breaking yolks.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if you prefer over easy or over hard eggs.
