Perfect Runny Egg Over Toast No Oil Non Stick Skillet Recipes

PERFECT EGGS OVER EASY

Steps:

• Crack the eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into a custard cup.
• TIP: Never crack eggs directly into a pan-always crack them into a cup or ramekin. It's the only way to make sure they cook evenly, and you can pour them into the pan right where you want them.
• Heat the pan: Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (don't dare skimp). Brush the butter around the pan.
• Add the eggs: When the butter stops foaming, pour the eggs into the pan, then quickly lift the handle just enough for the eggs to pool slightly on the far side. This will prevent the thin albumin from running out all over the pan.
• Flip the eggs: After 10 to 15 seconds, smoothly lower the handle. Wait another 10 seconds, then lightly jiggle the pan just to make sure that nothing is sticking. Season with 1 pinch of kosher salt and 1 grind of black pepper and cook, still over low heat, for 1 to 11/2 minutes.
• Jiggle again and examine the whites for opaqueness; when they're fully set but not hard, it's time to flip. Here comes the hard part: Flip the eggs by pushing the pan away from you and snapping the far edge upward. As the eggs turn, try to bring the pan up to meet them.
• Return the pan to the heat and slowly count to 10. Re-flip the eggs to their original side. (This time it won't be so difficult.) Slide onto a warmed plate and serve immediately with toast for wiping up all the goodness.
• TIP: Never flip the food up and bring the pan down. Try to meet the food with the pan as best as you can, thus preventing a hard-and potentially yolk-busting-landing.

OLD-FASHIONED RUNNY EGGS AND TOAST

Steps:

• Heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil in a skillet over med to med-high heat.
• When oil is hot, gently crack egg(s) and break open right over the grease, trying not to break the yolks. If you do break the yolk and want to try again, let the damaged egg cook a bit before taking it out or you'll have a hard time of it.
• Start making the toast.
• Grab a spatula and wait until the bottom of the egg(s) turns white (you can no longer see the bottom of the pan through it).
• Using the back side of the spatula blade (by holding the spatula normal, then twisting it in your hand 1/2 turn), splash the hot oil over the top.
• Continue doing this until both the egg white and yolk have a white film over the top. This should occur just about the time the toast is ready.
• Carefully remove the egg(s) to a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Serve with the toast.
• To eat, break the white skin on the yolk to get to the runny goodness. Dip toast pieces in the yolk and enjoy!
• Note: Until you get the hang of it, you should keep other people and pets away from the skillet while you're cooking. Otherwise, someone will likely end up on the receiving end of an over-ambitious flick of the spatula when you're trying to cook the tops. There are recipes here that describe other similar (and safer) ways to cook eggs with "runny" yolks, but if you want that old-fashioned, greasy-spoon, crispy-edged, fried-egg taste, there's just no substitute for this method.
