Fried eggs cooked on one side and gently flipped over and cooked briefly on the other side
without breaking the yolk. The result should be a cooked
egg white surrounding a completely runny, but warm,
yolk. When eating eggs over easy, the diner tends to get
egg yolk on anything else on the plate with the eggs. I like very much to mop up the eggs with
dry toast.
Variations on this theme, include eggs over medium, meaning the egg is cooked long enough for the yolk to solidify slightly, and eggs sunny side up.
