Eggs are one of the easier things to cook - what way are you trying to cook them?
Rolled Japanese style, aka tamagoyaki. That is really difficult.
Over easy is as easy as the name though.
Okay, sure, there are ways to cook them that are harder, but the vast majority of the ways people eat eggs are pretty simple. Basted is a way to cook them that comes out a lot like poached, but it's more foolproof - it's my wife's favorite.
Scrambled. I have managed to fail that one, it did not scrambled or cook.
Someone else gave elaborate instructions for scrambling that would work well. I usually just melt some butter over medium heat, crack the egg into it, wait like 30 to 60 seconds, stir it up with a spatula, wait another minute or two, then turn/stir the hunks so that any runny parts are against the pan and give it maybe another minute.
Well I had a heated pan on high and I cracked an egg into it... and then I kept having a raw egg floating around in the pan. After poking at it for some time it started cooking and after more poking it did scramble, so I did succeed in the end but I also managed to fail the cooking part of it.
You don't want the pan too hot, and you need a fat. Otherwise you were probably about right.
Thank you
