"Rudy likes his eggs basted hard. This is a cross between poached and fried. Using a clear lid makes it easier to see when your eggs are done how you like them."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat butter until melted; add eggs, fry until white is starting to set.

Step 2

Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Add water and cover immediately; some people add less water but I like a little more. The steam will cook the top of eggs; it takes just a minute or so, depending on how well done you like your eggs. Hard will be just like hard boiled eggs, that yellow color.

Step 4

I serve these with toast and fried potatoes, just like over easy eggs.

When I have fried eggs this is how I love them. I like the yolks soft but have a film over the eggs. I set the heat at 7, electric stove, and it only takes about 3 -4 minutes. Served with whole wheat toast & pepper stir fry. The instructions here are perfect
