The 8 Different Ways to Cook Eggs

Here's a closer look at eight different ways to cook eggs:

  • Hard Boiled: These eggs cook for 10-12 minutes. After removing their shell, you're left with a soft white outside and solid yolk inside. You can eat them by themselves, put them in salads or other dishes or sprinkle them with salt to your taste.
  • Soft Boiled: Soft boiled eggs take half as long to cook as hard-boiled ones — five to six minutes. The results of this cooking style feature smooth white outsides and creamy yellow insides.
  • Sunny Side Up: From the time you crack your egg into the skillet, it stays facing up. In other words, you don't flip it. Simply wait until the sunny side up part of the egg turns an opaque white color. You'll know when it's done!
  • Over Easy: Over easy eggs are quick and simple to make. Crack your egg into a hot pan and let it sit for a few minutes. Once the sides begin to turn white, flip the egg over. Over easy eggs are runny on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Over Hard: Over hard eggs are the same as over easy except that their middle is solid. If you dislike the runny texture of egg yolk, this is a perfect option.
  • Scrambled: Scrambled eggs are among the most popular ways to eat eggs. If you like the sound of light, fluffy and airy, this is your style.
  • Eggs Benedict: This famous egg dish involves ham, biscuits and hollandaise sauce, but poached eggs are the star of this meal. This type of egg cooks freely in a pot of hot water. The result? A perfectly delicate and runny yolk.
  • Omelets: This egg dish features scrambled eggs plus your favorite veggie and meat toppings.
