    If you’re looking for a quick, nutritious, and delicious breakfast option, look no further than over-easy eggs. Not only are they easy to prepare, but they’re also a great source of protein, with one large egg containing about 6 grams of protein.

    Enjoy it with toast, berries, and a spinach banana smoothie for a complete breakfast meal!

    To make an over-easy egg, you’ll need a good non-stick skillet, high-quality cooking oil, and a silicone or rubber spatula.

    WHAT OIL SHOULD I USE?

    Because we won’t be cooking the egg for too long feel free to use any type of oil. Olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil will work. You can also use butter if you wish.

    HOW TO COOK AN OVER-EASY EGG

    1. Start by heating your nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and adding about a tablespoon of oil to the pan.
    2. Once the oil is hot, crack your egg into the skillet and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side. Then, use your spatula to gently flip the egg over and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
    3. Season with salt and pepper, and enjoy!

    TOP TIPS FOR THE PERFECT OVER-EASY EGGS

    • The key to perfecting over easy eggs is getting the right heat temperature and using good quality oil. A temperature of around 375°F is perfect for cooking over easy eggs as it helps to set the whites while keeping the yolk runny.
    • It’s essential to use the right spatula when cooking eggs to avoid breaking the yolk. A silicone or rubber spatula is a good choice as it won’t scratch the non-stick surface of your pan and will allow you to gently flip the egg without damaging it.
