Over Easy Eggs, not so easy



I absolutely love over easy eggs, any time we go out to breakfast it is my go to choice. I recently discovered that when you order potatoes with them its great to break the yokes over the potatoes. Very yummy. I went to a local cafe yesterday morning and ordered the all american breakfast, over easy eggs, potatoes, toast and sausage. Sat in the little cafe as I re-read Twilight. Yes I'm a fan but don't judge me, its just another world to get caught up in.
Anyway I attempted this morning to make the eggs myself. My cousin came to visit and taught me that I can just cover the pan after I've broken the eggs. This was an amazing trick and I've been using it almost every morning since they visited. The only problem is I don't know when to turn the stove off. As much as I want them over easy they end up being over-medium. How much easier can someone make this for me?? When the pilot is home he always turns down the setting while I'm cooking the eggs, and I always go behind him and turn it back up. I'm sure that is probably the correct way but there is this tiny part of me that says "I do what I want", even if it is wrong. Silly me, all I want is to make it right. After years and years of getting it wrong, I guess I've just accepted defeat. I'll keep trying though, and maybe one morning I'll actually have a purpose for the toast I make with it......
