Egg yolk dry.

Broken egg or just the hangover messing with your timing?

edit: Odd slicing too.

Broken egg unfortunately, it blew when I flipped it. I need it cooked on both sides because I feel physically sick if the egg white is still runny. Bread is Warburtons toastie, such a guilty pleasure.

Pro tip - get a blow torch and use that to cook the top whilst the egg sits normally. Much faster and saves hassle/danger of breaking the yolk

Or you could just flick fat from the pan over the egg and cook the top without turning it over

The trick is to crack the egg at the top rather than cracking it on the side of the pan.

Thanks for all the eggvice, hopefully next weekend my hangover sandwich will have improved.

I put a lid on for a while and the steam that builds up cooks the top enough but leaves the yolk nice and runny. But I dont mind well done eggs either because all eggs are yummy!

Flicking oil needs lots of oil in the pan, not very healthy.

Just stick it under the grill for 1 min to finish it off, and if you use a cast iron pan, the heat can cook the top more than a regular pan too without flipping.

SonniLombardi · 28 Jun 2015 at 20:16

I just drain off the excess oil on a bit of kitchen roll and dab the top of the egg to soak up the rest if there is too much oil.

Glaucus · 28 Jun 2015 at 20:17

Why would you even want to cook the egg in top. And 99% of people have hear far to high, crispy egg should not be a thing. Should be pure white goodness and totally raw yolk.

Oil isn't unhealthy. That said, I only use a small amount of butter to fry my eggs.

In moderation, no.

So much that you can flick them over, I think that's too much for frying an egg.

Glaucus · 28 Jun 2015 at 20:25

With an egg not much difference between a little oil and a lot of oil. They aren't absorbent so wont make a huge amount if difference, other than what's clinging to the outside.

FrenchTart · 28 Jun 2015 at 20:30

Exactly...it's not like you drink all the oil in the pan.
