Test Kitchen Approved

With fully set egg whites and creamy, runny egg yolks, over-easy eggs are, in my opinion, the best way to cook an egg. Here’s how we do it over at Taste of Home.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes or until whites are set. Flip; cook 30-60 seconds or until whites are fully set and yolks are still runny. Serve hot.
