    I cover my pan with the lid so the top of the egg gets more heat and it cooks nicely, add a tablespoon of water to steam the top works well also.

    Instead of breaking the yolk, I broke the whole egg

      Seriously? You cook eggs in vegetable oil & then dump vegetable oils on top ??? 😂
      - Why not just order something from McDonald's if your trying to kill whomever your cooking for with vegetable oils 😂

      For me a crispy base is the best egg but personal choice as ever and you like a softer white base 👍

    I’m 56, Professional Engineer, and I have never been able to cook an over easy egg. 4/5 yolks break when I crack the egg. The others break when I flip them.

    I'll give this a go. I usually use a circular metal egg ring so my fried eggs come out perfectly round and I rarely ever break a yolk when flipping to cook both sides, but I quite like the look of the egg you cooked for demonstration.
    Your egg cooked much quicker than mine do, this is because when using an egg ring the eggs come out approximately 1/2 inch, or 12mm thick for the white part, where as not using an egg ring means the egg spreads out wider and the thickness is greatly reduced.
    Thank you for teaching me this way, much appreciated.

    Respectfully, that is ridiculous way to cook an over easy egg. (I say respectfully because you are British, and I learned to make 'Eggs in a Basket' from V FOR VENDETTA 🙂) "Just FLIP IT!" That is the way an over-easy egg it is meant to be done. Peace to All

    How much oil did you use

    • @TheFlatCapChef
      @TheFlatCapChef  3 года назад

      Depends a little on the size of your pan, smaller pan less oil, but as a guide about 150/200ml and don’t forget you can store it in a jar or bottle and then reuse it too 👍

      Vegetable or sunflower oil is best but you can use olive oil if your feeling rich ! Don’t use too much whichever you choose. Happy cooking 👍
