Sunny side up. Use the oil to cook the top. Cant have a non-runny yolk. Ew.

Over easy has the runny yoke..

Over --Hard-- is the solid version..

Sunny side up, still runny on the whites and yolk.  Some sourdough to soak it all up with.  I am also wood with very wet scrambled. 
I can't do fully cooked eggs, they make me ill.

I like it not super runny but a little solid and a little runny yolk together.

Fried in bacon grease, there is no other way for perfect eggs. 

My dad actually found a restaurant that had very hot biscuits and gravy.  They would actually just crack a couple eggs over the gravy, and let the gravy cook them.  Absolutely amazing.

Give it to me RAW!

(in a shake :p)

depends: if paired wif bacon and some breakfast bread...runny...so I can splash it with sriracha and mop it up with said bread.

if in, say, a burger, hard plox (or not quite hard)...don't need it dripping all over the place.

TP, your “sunny side up” egg ...
(http://thymebombe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_2948.jpg)

... isn’t even cooked...

I recommend either leaving it cooking another few minutes, or putting a lid on for long enough that the white gets at least slightly solid.

Anyway, the people complaining about butter are at least a decade out of date compared to nutrition study evidence. Butter is just fine for you. Probably better than vegetable oil to be honest. Same story for full-fat milk, half and half, cream-line yoghurt, etc. People who drink non-fat milk and avoid butter because they think it’s going to keep them thin are grossly misinformed and missing out on life.

Also, chyros, chili powder? Lame. If you don’t have some fresh jalapeños to cook, I recommend one of these:

I just got that foto online..  hahaha..  I'm usuallly making over easies.. because it's a bit faster than to wait for the top white to solidify.

The more I think about it.. Sunny side might be better suited for sandwiches vs over easy,  because,, if you have the bread right ontop of the uncooked yolk,  it shoulddd prevent it from running all over..

Sometimes I'll put some cheese on top and place a lid on the pan for a few minutes. The end result is crispy on the bottom and cheesy on the top  :p

No the way I usually add cheese is the same as I do with sour cream. Just add it all grated up before I scramble it. The cheese melts and just becomes one with the egg.

Over medium or poached!!
How do you poach yours? I usually add a little vinegar to the water to keep the egg together.

That's a 10-4 on the vinegar :), about a tablespoon is all ya need. The secret to making good poached eggs is to put just enough water to cover the egg, that way it's not flopping around while it's boiling, it holds it's shape better. 5-6 minutes and she's ready to party. :)

That is about what I have found as well. I usually take the water off of heat so that it isn't bubbling, that way when I put the egg in it doesn't get all busted up. I put it back on heat after it's in the water but by the it's firm enough to withstand some bubbles.
