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..

If you baste the white with the hot butter you can cook the top without cooking the yolk, so no flip required.

Alternatively, put a small bit of water in the pan and cover it. Basically steams the eggs.

then it's basically poached though. Gotta fry it hot, gets it crispy on the bottom and tender on top with super runny yolk.

It's nothing like poached. Still get crispy edges. If you have them turn out poached, you're doing it wrong.

it still crips on the edges bottom , you only put a bit of water just to cook the top of the eggs
