I also prepared some eggs by cooking them in a water bath set to 62°C (144°F) and then fried them. I did this because when the yolk is cooked to about 65°C it's almost set and still in a gel, but the whites are almost too solid to come out of the shell (they stick to the shell) but also too liquid to peel the egg. I was hoping that at 62°C they would be lose enough to crack into a fry pan and fry for a minute to get the whites to form a crispy edge but still have the yolk just flowing.
Fried Eggs

One of the eggs was a bit weird - it was almost all yolk, so there wasn't much whites to fry. The eggs turned out looking a little poor, but tasted great and had near perfect texture. I'll try this again in the future at a slightly lower temperature to see if I can get the whites to look a little prettier.
