Green Tip: If you want to source your eggs more sustainably, look for pasture-raised eggs (over free-range or cage-free) to support agriculture that is less reliant on chemicals and fossil fuels.
As a sustainability conscious cook, I strongly believe making small changes like responsibly sourcing ingredients when you can, makes a bigger impact over time.

5-Minute Fried Over Hard Eggs
PIN Print RATE11+ Savory breakfast recipes to get your day started off right, including these Fried Over Hard Eggs that require only 5 minutes!
Equipment
Ingredients
Eggs Over Hard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Optional Flavor Enhancers
- 1 tablespoon diced scallions or chives
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar, gouda, Havarti, Swiss, muenster, or Parmesan)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili oil or other flavored oil (in place of olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (thyme, basil, parsley, dill, cilantro, oregano, or rosemary)
Instructions
- Crack each egg into its own small bowl or ramekin and set aside. This will give you a chance to make sure your egg is fresh and to remove any eggshells that may have fallen into your cracked egg.
- Add the olive oil to a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat and allow the oil to get hot for 1 minute.
- Carefully add the eggs to the pan, leaving at least two inches of space between each egg. Optional: use a knife to pierce the yolk, so it spreads across the egg white. This will reduce the cooking time once flipped by roughly one minute.
- Allow to cook for about 2 minutes, or until egg whites are opaque.
- Crack salt and pepper on the eggs. Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the eggs, one at a time.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until egg yolks are well-done. Enjoy!
Pro Tips
- If you’re making more than 2 eggs, it’s best to do so in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Wipe the pan clean in between batches and use 1 tablespoon of oil per every 2 eggs.
