North Americans use many different terms to describe fried eggs, including:

* A style known simply as 'fried' — eggs are fried on both sides with the yolks broken until set or hard.
* 'Over hard' or 'hard' — cooked on both sides with the yolk broken until hard.
* 'Overcook' — cooked on both sides until the egg white and yolk have burnt, blacken and crispy.
* 'Over well' — cooked on both sides until the yolk has solidified.
* 'Over medium' — cooked on both sides; the yolk is of medium consistency and the egg white is thoroughly cooked.
* 'Over easy' cooked on both sides; the yolk is a light runny and the egg white is not fully cooked. "Over easy" fried eggs are also commonly referred to as dippy eggs or dip eggs by Marylanders, by Pennsylvania Dutch persons living in central Pennsylvania and those living around them, mainly due to the practice of dipping toast into the yolk while eating.
* 'Sunny side up' — cooked only on one side; yolk is liquid; the egg white is often still a bit runny as well. This is often known simply as 'eggs up'. Gently splashing the hot cooking oil or fat on the sunny side uncooked white, i.e., basting, may be done to thoroughly cook the white. Covering the frying pan with a lid during cooking (optionally adding a cover and half-teaspoon of water just before finishing) allows for a less "runny" egg, and is an alternate method to flipping for cooking an egg over easy (this is occasionally called 'sunny side down').

Nein, "sunny site up" stimmt nicht.

Wie man ein Rührei beschreibt, lässt sich so genau nicht sagen - nennen tut man's auf jeden Fall
"scrambled egg(s)".

I have heard someon asking for a fried egg sunny side down in a hotel once....

See above:

Dip eggs takes me back to my great aunts where we used to eat them with "toast soldiers". I wonder if anyone says that anymore?

Toast soldiers (usually Marmite soldiers, actually) are what we had with boiled eggs when I was a little girl. I'm sure quite a few people in Britain still say "boiled egg with soldiers".

Eggs and soldiers is what my children still have for tea. And they are teenagers... :-)

My mom makes that for me when I'm sick.....it's one of the comfort foods that bring back childhood memories. And I'm much older than a teenager ;-)
