Tips & Notes

  • We tested this recipe with large eggs, a medium egg or extra large egg will have a different cook time.
  • Times may vary depending on the stove top, the goal is for the white to cook enough to flip and then barely let the egg stay in the skillet. The goal is to fully cook the egg.
