over easy
Of a fried chicken's egg, cooked thoroughly on one side and very lightly on the other so that the yolk remains very runny. Could I have hash browns, sausages, beans, and two eggs over easy, please?
over hard
Of a fried chicken's egg, cooked thoroughly on both sides so that the yolk is not runny at all. I really hate runny yolks, so I always have my eggs over hard.
over medium
Of a fried chicken's egg, cooked thoroughly on one side and partially on the other so that the yolk is a bit runny in the center. Mary likes her eggs over easy, but I prefer mine over medium.
