...Medium? I like them fried over easy so I can dip toast in the yolk, but the whites aren't runny at all.

At Waffle House, that's over medium, or just an "order". Over easy / "order lite" has some runny white.

Waffle House is just wrong in their designation then. Over light is supposed to be slightly runny whites. Sunny side up is not flipping the egg so the white on top isn’t fully cooked. Over easy is supposed to have fully cooked whites and runny yolks. Over medium is jammy yolks that won’t quickly flow out if popped.

Waffle House just is saying over light = over easy and that’s not correct.

“Over medium well” for jammy yolks if you’re lucky in California… over medium = undercooked, can’t imagine over easy

Sunny side up post to be basted with hot oil to ensure zero runny white, since runny albumen is danger town… yes?!

Runny whites are terrible, way undercooked. We call them snotty here, due to the consistency similarities. Nobody I know likes a snotty egg, glad you seem to be in the same boat :)

Over easy is fantastic in a sandwich with bacon, but I go for a soft-boil if dipping. Precut toast soldiers when feeling particularly childish.
