I like over easy if I have toast to sop up the yolk.

If i'm just eating the eggs by themselves, I like to break the yolk and spread it around, then cook it over medium.

This way the yolk is fully cooked, and you get a bit of yolk in every bite.

Seems like people consider this heresy, though.

So scrambled eggs, but shittier

>>9337361
It's a fine art to achieve the perfect medium cooked egg. Still liquid but thick and rich. Most times I just end up with egg still runny.

>>9337377
No, they don't taste like scrambled eggs at all.

>solid white and runny yolk

that is what over easy is.

>>9337377
Nah. The appeal of an unbroken yolk is that you can have the center runny and the outside more cooked, creating a contrast in textures in addition to helping the yolk not spill where ever the fuck it wants.
If you break the yolk and control it's spread, you've increased the surface area to volume ratio, thus allowing you to evenly cook the entire yolk. You can still keep it separate from the whites.

Both ways have their ups and downs.

No, over easy still has some runny white

>>9337436
Nah. The whole purpose of over easy as opposed to sunny side up is to ensure the whites set while the yolk stays runny.

>>9337478
Over easy: Lightly cooked, with runny white and yolk
Over medium: Solid white, runny yolk
Over hard: Solid white and solid yolk

This is fact.

>>9337361
It is possible to have sunny-side up with no runny eggs. Just leave the egg on low medium for like 5 minutes.

>>9337487

over medium is partially set yolk. like a fudgy texture. over hard is when it goes pale and grainy.

Wrong

I will never understand runny yolks. Not even mopped up with toast, no. That is just disgusting.

At most, egg yolks should be gooey like molasses. A little more solidified and there you have your sweet spot.

I can't be bothered to look for more than a minute or so, but I haven't found anything yet that describes over-easy as anything other than
>fried
>flipped
>runny yolk
>set white

I've also yet to receive anything other than this ordering my eggs overeasy at any diner.

>>9338130

and there's a good reason for that - people don't like runny white. send an egg out with a runny white and it will get sent back. there are some cultures where people don't mind it but you sure as shit don't get it in western diners and cafes.

OP is fucking retarded.
