Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 large egg
  • s1 tablespoon oil or butter (for flavor, try butter)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the Pan: Add oil or butter to a non-stick pan and heat over medium.
    Cook the First Side: Crack the egg into the pan, cook for about 2 minutes until the whites are set, creating the perfect base for over hard eggs.
    Flip the Egg: Gently flip the egg with a spatula, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolk is firm. This is key to making the perfect egg over hard.
    Season and Serve: Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then serve immediately. You’ve just made over hard eggs—crispy and fully cooked, just the way you like them!

Notes

  • Over Hard vs. Over Easy: Over hard eggs are fully cooked, with a solid yolk, while over easy eggs have a runny yolk.
  • Nutritional Benefits: Eggs are rich in protein, vitamin D, and essential minerals.
  • Common Use: Over hard eggs work well in breakfast sandwiches, grain bowls, or burgers for added protein.
