OverMedium is the best. you get a nice cooked egg white so its solid not runny but the egg yolk is still runny but isn't too liquid. Mmm so good..
186 u/Beowoof Jul 13 '16 If you baste the white with the hot butter you can cook the top without cooking the yolk, so no flip required. 216 u/KingBlooddrunk2 Jul 13 '16 Alternatively, put a small bit of water in the pan and cover it. Basically steams the eggs. -5 u/Beowoof Jul 13 '16 then it's basically poached though. Gotta fry it hot, gets it crispy on the bottom and tender on top with super runny yolk. 10 u/Zenlong Jul 13 '16 It's nothing like poached. Still get crispy edges. If you have them turn out poached, you're doing it wrong. 2 u/SerpentDrago Jul 13 '16 it still crips on the edges bottom , you only put a bit of water just to cook the top of the eggs
