Here’s how to make eggs over easy with toast—a simple, classic breakfast done perfectly:
🍳 Eggs Over Easy
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 large eggs
- 1–2 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt and black pepper
- Optional: pinch of paprika or hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat the pan:
Place a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and let it melt gently (don’t brown it). - Crack the eggs:
Crack eggs into the pan. Cook undisturbed until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 2–3 minutes). - Flip carefully:
Using a thin spatula, gently flip each egg. Cook another 20–40 seconds—just long enough to lightly set the top while keeping the yolk runny. - Season & serve:
Sprinkle with salt and pepper immediately after cooking.
🍞 Toast
- Toast 2 slices of bread to your preferred level of crispness.
- Spread with butter while hot so it melts in.
Serving Tip
Place eggs over the toast or serve alongside for dipping. Cut into the yolk and let it soak into the bread—classic and comforting.
Optional Add-Ons
- Avocado slices
- Crispy bacon or sausage
- Sautéed spinach
- Everything bagel seasoning
