How to know if the fried eggs are completely cooked through and no runny yolks?
Use the edge of a spatula or a fork to gently break the yolks if you are unsure of whether they are fully cooked (see the image).
When you gently poke or break the eggs with a fork or spatula, you can see the yolk if it is very runny or just slightly runny in texture.
When breaking the yolk with a fork or spatula, there should be some sticky yolk traces if there is any uncooked yolk present.
When there is no sign of a runny yolk, the dish is finished!
How long to cook fried over hard eggs?
You must first cook the fried eggs until the whites are cooked and set and the yolks are barely set if you want the whites and yolks to be fully cooked through.
Depending on the size of the eggs, the temperature, the type of pan used, etc., this will take 2 to 3 minutes on medium-low heat.
The eggs must then be turned over and cooked for an additional one to two minutes so that the yolks are fully cooked.
Therefore, it takes 4 to 5 minutes to cook fried over hard eggs in total.
What’s The Difference Between Over Easy, Medium, and Hard Eggs?
The word “over” refers to the actual act of turning the egg over, whether it be easy, medium, or hard. A fried egg is turned over to cook on the other side. The terms “easy,” “medium,” and “hard” describe how dense the yolk is.
Whatever level of yolkiness you prefer, cooking eggs follows the same general procedure:
Depending on the style you favor, you can adjust the time for cooking the egg on the other side:
Only 15 to 20 seconds should be spent cooking over easy on the second side.
Fry over medium for 30 to 45 seconds on the other side.
Over hard, again, is a fully cooked egg. To ensure the yolk is fully cooked through, feel free to cook the other side for up to two minutes.
Without mentioning sunny side-up eggs, we can’t talk about yolky eggs.
Eggs prepared in this manner are prepared similarly to “over” eggs by cracking them into a skillet that has been lightly greased with butter. However, sunny side up isn’t flipped. You have two options for lightly steaming the egg’s top portion: either cover your pan with a lid or drizzle some of the remaining cooking liquid over the egg whites. Be careful to not allow the yolk to cook, however. It should be completely liquid, simulating a bright yellow.
