How do I nail over medium?

Yolks should be soft but thickened, set after 1-2 minutes on the second side.

What if the yolk breaks?

Still delicious! Flip slowly with a silicone spatula for better control.

Butter instead of oil?

Sure, but use low heat; add eggs when butter’s foam subsides.

Why are my whites tough?

Heat’s too high; stick to medium-low for silky texture.

Can I cook more eggs?

Yes, but limit to 3-4 in a 10-inch pan to avoid crowding.

Description

Master the art of cooking perfect over medium eggs — tender whites, jammy yolks, and just the right amount of golden edges. Quick, simple, and satisfying every time.

Ingredients

Scale

3 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (or avocado oil)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Heat a ceramic non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a touch of olive or avocado oil.
Gently crack in 3 eggs, keeping them spaced apart in the pan.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
Using a silicone slotted spatula, carefully slide under each egg and gently flip without breaking the yolks.
Cook on the other side until yolks are slightly firm to the touch, based on your preferred doneness.
Remove from pan and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best results. Touch yolks gently to check doneness — they should feel just set but still soft inside.
