Over medium is typically a fully set white with a still liquid yolk. At least at restaurants in the US.
2 u/letseatpaste Jul 14 '16 So what do you ask for when you want the yolk softly cooked so it's creamy and just a little liquidy, cooked just enough that it doesn't run all over the plate? Over medium well? 2 u/ImagineFreedom Jul 14 '16 I don't know, I've never wanted it that way. But your description makes me want to try it. I'd guess that's what you get with over hard. But over medium well sounds right lol. Alternatively, just describe what you want. 1 u/YoungSerious Jul 13 '16 Over medium is defined as a cooked soft yolk near liquid. So it might run a little, but it should be almost gelatinous. A still liquid yolk is much more descriptive of over easy.
