STEAMED (BASTED) FRIED EGGS
This is a quick method to make eggs that appear to be "over easy" without the mess of turning and it uses much less fat for the cooking. Broth can be used instead of the water as the basting liquid. Thanks to Ericjs for the proper name for the cooking technique.

Steps:
- Spray a non-stick frying pan (size to accomodate the number of eggs) with oil spray. I often use well-seasoned cast iron skillets.
- Place the pan over medium heat.
- When pan and oil are heated, break eggs and place in pan with some separation between eggs.
- When the egg whites begin to turn opaque (about 1 minute depending on how hot your "medium heat" is, pour water into the pan
- Cover the pan tightly
- Cook for 30 seconds before looking at the eggs
- Cover the eggs after checking and cook until the eggs are the desired degree of doneness.

Steps:
- Heat some canola oil in a pan over medium (not too hot!) heat. Crack in the eggs 3 at a time. As they cook, spoon hot oil over the whites of the eggs so the top will set but still be pretty. Towards the end of cooking, carefully pour a couple of spoonfuls of oil over the yolks. Keep going until the egg is the doneness you want.
- Serve with a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of hot sauce if you'd like!
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best results. Older eggs may not fry as evenly.
- Heat your pan over medium-low heat. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and may burn.
- Add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan to help prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl before adding them to the pan. This will help to prevent the yolks from breaking.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the eggs immediately with your favorite toast, breakfast potatoes, or fruit.
