We don't use that term here in Australia and I hear it all the time in American movies and always wondered what it means.
Thanks : )

Yolk still runny. Whites very soft, maybe a little runny. Just long enough on each side to barely set the white.

To make eggs 'over easy' you should place a small amount of butter in a flying plan over medium heat. Once the butter has completely melted and starts to bubble, turn the heat to medium-low. Cook the eggs on one side until the white has 'set' (aren't runny anymore). You then flip the egg for 15 seconds and then remove from heat. They are great served with toast, using the yolk to 'dip' the toast into. These eggs are often called 'dippy eggs' as well. They're super!

It means to once the bottom part is cooked to your liking.... just turn if over for a few seconds before removing from the pan. Just enough to quickly cook any remaining egg white on the top without starting to harden the yellow egg yolk.

Over easy is when you fry an egg, and when the white is set you gently flip the egg over to the other side to cook for just a touch. Technically, the easy over egg white is supposed to be slightly slimy when served, but I think most people expect it to not be at all slimy, but the yolk left runny.

okay when you put an egg in the frying pan you let it cook for like 2 minutes, then "easy/carefully" flip it and let it cook for 30 seconds. Basically when you cut the cooked egg the yolk is still runny. i prefer my eggs over med, the yolk is runny and hard at the same time

Over easy eggs are eggs fried in a pan, flipped over (carefully NOT breaking the yolk) and cooking just enough to cook the white on top of the egg and served so yolk is still runny. yummmmy!

sunny side eggs turned over on the grill.
for ex. I have a pan, I put butter in it melted, just crack open the egg without breaking the yolk, then cook on low flame until the white is almost done, while the yolk is still raw take a spatula and carefully flip it over like your making pancakes. that's it your done!

COOK THEM NORMAL, BUT WHEN YOU SEE (LIFT A CORNER WITH A SPATULA OR FLIPPER) THAT THE BOTTOM IS DONE (DON'T LET THE YELLOW YOLK GET HARD!) THEN FLIP IT CAREFULLY, SO THE YOLK WON'T BREAK. AND THEN COOK/FRY IT SOME MORE. DON'T LET THE YOLK GET HARD. BUT ALSO, DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE WHITE BE "RUNNY" OR NOT COOKED. MUST BE SOMEWHAT SOLID. SO NOW YOU'VE FLIPPED IT OVER EASY AND THE YOLK DIDN'T BREAK. TAKES SOME PRACTICE, YOU WON'T GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

it means that the yolk and whites are still runny. over medium is when the yolk is runny and the white is cooked and over well is when both are cooked. i work in a resturant that serves eggs all day long.
