It took me months to learn how to flip my single over-medium breakfast egg without a) using a spatula or b) making a splattering mess all over my kitchen.  But now that I (usually) can do it, it’s a skill I’m proud to have learned.

Check out this video by a chef showing the yolk-farthest-away-from-you method of flipping.  I love his Southern inflection, how he describes “laying over” the eggs.  It’s so delicate, so delicious-sounding somehow.  Though I am scared to try to replicate his method….he’s flipping two eggs at once!

Are you an egg-flipper?  How did you learn?
