fried eggs over medium?

Question

I LOVE my eggs over medium but always go to the "chow hall"(im military can u tell lol) to have them in the morning be4 work but now i wanna make them at home but dont kno how because im not a good cook nor have i tried yet? Another thing is , is there a such thing as over hard?

Answer 1

"Over medium" simply means that you cook the egg a bit sunny-side up, then flip it "over" and continue cooking until the white part is done (not runny at all) and the yellow part is still runny when you cut it with the fork. If you've been ordering your eggs this way, I'm sure you're aware of this :)

Cooking them is simple with a bit of practice. First, you need a good egg pan - which is one with a non-stick surface. You can use many mediums to make your egg "flippable" and add a bit of flavor. Some favorites are a bit of bacon grease, a pat of butter, a spoonful of margarine, or non-stick cooking spray (Pam). Over medium heat, crack your egg into the pan. Let it sizzle for a minute or so, until the edges are nice and solid. Then, take a spatula (no metal on a non-stick pan, of course) and flip the egg over. It generally takes another minute on medium heat to finish cooking the white part.

Now, your question asks if there is "over hard" - yes, there is. If you were to continue cooking the egg upside down, the yellow part would get hard, thus becoming "over hard."

Answer 2

Eggs Over Medium

Answer 3

For over-medium, typically what you want to look for is once you have flipped the eggs in the pan, that the yolk is starting to get set around the outside and the inside is still soft and runny. You can do this gently with your fingers to determine how set the yolk is around the edge, and then you can also get it perfect for your own preference. Over-hard means that the yolks are completely set and cooked through. Some people like to break the yolks, but in my opinion that is cheating, laziness or just a sign that somebody doesnt know how to flip an egg.

Answer 4

Over medium is called 30-30, Medium hot pan, Tbs. Butter, Butter melts starts to bubble, in goes egg, count 30 slowly, flip egg, count 30 slowly, re-flip and plate one medium fried egg, yolk runny, albumun fully cook

Answer 5

Use alittle cooking spray. Let the pan get hot first. Let them cook until they can be turned over without falling apart. This takes a little trial and error to get down. Try not to break the yolk, as they will no longer be over medium. Let them cook until they are done. This will also take some trial and error. Enjoy!

Answer 6

Over easy, over medium, and over hard. Make sure you have a non-stick pan, melt butter or use olive oil to coat the pan. Drop in your eggs. As soon as you see it start to "set up", usually about a minute or less, time to GENTLY turn it over. You have to tell if it is easy, medium or hard by how "jiggly" the yolk is. Practice makes perfect!
