One of the first things I ever wanted to really make well, so I discovered that med-high is best, you don't want the whites to bubble up (too hot), but you do not want the transparent white to hang around (too cool) waiting for inspiration either! I also prefer olive oil, fresh eggs are rich enough, and the butter should be on the toast! Yum. Oh and flipping them for over-easy is an art, too bad the Japanese haven't made a ceremony out of that, it ain't easy.

Gently slide the egg out of the ramekin into the water — it's just a transition vessel. Hope that helps! Ali Hi Diane,

Or is that just a transition vessel? So does the egg go into the water inside the ramekin? Or is that just a transition vessel?

Unless it's early fall and I can can put a layer of sauteed spinach and grilled tomatoes inbetween. Love hte Bog!

I'm not sure why I haven't tried that yet!? I guess it's habit, just as you say. I am looking forward to reading your blog! Hi Tom,

I find it toughens the eggs. It's one of those things every chef says to do but I find it makes a tough casing around the egg. Cook it slowly and you don't have to add it to the water. It's like they always says remove the white pith around an orange as it's bitter. Try it and you'll find nope, not bitter; it's just something every cooks says to do by habit. Nice blog, thank you!
