I put "fried (flipped)" but I have developed my own way of simulating over easy without the risk of breaking that beautiful soft yolk.

I crack the eggs into a small pan over medium heat and immediately cover with a lid. This traps the heat and partially cooks the top of the eggs without having to flip them.

I hate to break it to you, but that's LITERALLY the exact method some people use for cooking a sunny side up (unflipped) egg

The point of flipping it is you get your fat/oil on both sides and seal everything in nicely while keeping both side consistently cooked. You don't get that seared flavor on the top side if you just steam it.

Whatever. The risk of flipping is just too high.

If you're working on a properly greased surface on high enough heat, the chance of yolk breakage mid-flip is less than 10%. In my experience even if there is a leak, it usually seals itself quickly while cooking, preserving at least 50% of your total yolk. Worst case scenario you have to pull the egg early and have a little runny white in your yolk.

yeah that's how I usually do it too, imo not flipping and no lid means uncooked egg whites, and I'm not a fan of that
