What American does the term ‘over easy’ mean when applied to eggs?!


Question: Sunny side: Only fry egg to where the white is mostly cooked, but the yolk is raw, without flipping the egg over.

Over easy: Flip the sunny side egg and finish cooking the white, but the yolk should remain raw. flip and cook 30 seconds before removing.

Over hard: Leave the over easy egg in the pan and cook the yolk too, or prick the yolk and let it run before cooking it. Cooked all the way like scrambled, but the white and yolk are still separate and identifiable.

lightly cooked on both sides, yolk unbroken and runny.

This mean when cooking the eggs to turn them over gently so that the whites are done and the yolk is still runny.

It's like sunny side up, but they flip it over on tthe other side for a couple of seconds the yollk gets a whitish covering on it, but the yolk is still runny just like sunny side up

just as it says
turn the eggs over easy so as not to break the yolks.
