How can you flip over-easy eggs on a gridlle so the yolk doesn't break?
Answers:
You have to roll your wrist. Make sure to spray the griddle really well AND the spatula (a wide, flexible one if you have one-an all metal spatula always works really well--sometimes the plastic ones aren't smooth enough) with a non-stick spray. Then, slide the spatula under the right side of the egg (if you are right handed, left side for lefties), and in one motion flip the egg like you would flip a page in a book--gently but fluidly. Imagine that the spatula is an extension of your hand, and you are using your "hand" to cradle the egg and flip it over about 2 inches to the left--but you aren't picking it up off the griddle, it is just turning over. Don't stop the motion as you are flipping the egg-you have to follow through so that your hand and spatula end up on the other side of the egg after it is flipped. That should do it without breaking the yolk. I think the trick is to do it in one motion, and to follow though--don't try and just turn it over--you have to move the entire egg over. Good luck!
