[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 9855543, member: 5868"] Grain of salt ... I'm no chef nor an egg dish expert. But here's what they translate to to me (edit: i.e., what I'd expect to get if ordering at a diner or restaurant in the US): Sunny side up: egg cracked into pan, heated until solid, yolk intact. Yolk solidity depends on how long it's cooked from mostly liquid to fully hardened. Over easy: Flip the sunny side up egg over, but not for so long that the yolk fully solidifies, but remains unbroken. Over hard: Flip the sunny side up egg over, keep it there until the yolk is fully cooked and everything is solid, and remains unbroken. I guess all of the above are fried egg variations. Though I generally think of "fried" eggs as having a broken yolk (in the pan) that continues to cook. Edit:: I'm not a fried egg variation fan, but if I ordered a "fried egg" at a diner here without specifying one of the intact-yolk variations (sunny side, over easy, over hard, etc) I'd expect pre-broken and cooked yolk.
