No matter how I try to flip the egg, the yolk breaks.

A non stick pan with butter usually works well. If it's not non stick, use a fair amount of fat... break egg into pan and let it completely set before turning. Letting it set (no loose whites) on top wil keep the egg from sticking on the bottom. A really good pan to get is a square nonstick griddle pan. It is the size of a frying pan but is flat with no real lip and it makes turning easier.

Fry An Egg Over Easy

When you break the egg, break it so that there is a larger half. So, you can just pull off the smaller shell. Break it on the edge of a bowl or the edge of your counter, not the edge of your pan. Then when the smaller shell is gone, quickly dump the entire egg into the pan SUPER close to the pan. This should prevent the shell from cutting into the yolk. Let this part cook the longest. Once you flip, it should only need 60 seconds to finish up. Doing these things should also prevent the shell from winding up in the egg

Are you talking about frying the sunny egg? Do not flip the egg. You should put slightly more oil, once the oil is hot, lower the fire, then put the egg into the oil. Use your spatula to slowly pour the hot oil onto the yolk (with slow to medium fire). The yolk will be cook at your preferrence, with beautiful egg yolk at the center of the sunny egg. Do take note that once you turn the egg over, its very high chance that the egg yolk will breaks and also it does not look nice of your sunny egg. Enjoy cooking!!!

Try this. I hate when the yolk breaks.
Use a non-stick pan coated with cooking spray. Use just barley medium heat.
Use a plastic turner and spray the turner with cooking spray also.
When ready to turn gently creep the turner under the egg (tilt your pan as you do this) until the turner completely supports the egg then ease it over. Remove the egg from the pan the same way.

it depends on freshness of egg, quality/thiness of egg turmer/spatula and frying pan and cooking temperature..invest in a decent thin egg turner....make sure brfore you try to flip egg it is cooked enough...you should cook an over easy egg for about 3/4 time on first side before flipping...then just finish about 1/4 time...a good non stick pan will help as with good amount of butter/grease...
don't fry too high temperature or too low...about med....

PUT SALT IN THE PAN WITH THE OIL. THE SALT ACTS LIKE LITTLE ROLLERS UNDER THE EGGS WHICH KEEPS THE EGGS FROM LAYING TOO FLAT ON THE PAN.
