- A grown-up can help melt a little butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Crack the egg carefully into the frying pan.
- Cook the egg until the white is mostly solid.
- Choose how you want to cook the egg, and follow the directions below.
Sunny Side up – Cook the egg on one side only. Cover with a lid and cook until the egg white sets.
Over Easy – Cook both sides of the egg until the white is set, but keep the yolk runny.
Over Medium – Cook the egg on both sides until the white is set and the yolk is a tiny bit runny.
Over Hard – Cook the egg on both sides until the white and the yolk are both hard.
Broken – Break the yolk with a spatula and cook the yolk and white until solid.
The most important skill to cooking eggs is cracking them without breaking the yolk. Here’s a simple video that will make your kids egg-cracking experts.
