What's your favorite way to have them, and why? Ian Fleming's favorite (since he was British, I should say "favourite") was scrambled, and therefore, ditto for 007. I prefer over easy. Interested to get some opinions on this one.

Over easy! Reliable for a poor cook, such as myself, to get runny yolks and solid whites.
really? Has this been keeping you up late at night?
Pipe lovers omelette - Soft and moist with no brown spots, generous helpings of Latakia and Perique, with sprinkled Kentucky seasoning on top. Stoved Virginia on the side.
Egg-xactly!
I love eggs! I had a job half of my life ago cooking short order overnight at a Denny's type place we have in PA called Eat N Park ...I hated all the side work but loved cooking eggs for all the drunk patrons (who I luckily didn't have to see).
I think my absolute favorite has to be a classic overeasy egg -cooked in butter at a fairly high temp with a bit of pepper, the salt in the butter adds just the right amount to the egg in my opinion. Gimme an English muffin or a good slice of toast with a couple of those and life is good.

(1) soft-boiled, with chopped garnishes and extra virgin olive oil
(2) scrambled moist (never overcooked)
(3) fried "sunny side up" in olive oil hot enough to crisp the edges of the egg
(4) poached
(5) raw (quail) egg on breakfast natto with green onion

As I kid I just wouldn't eat eggs, though my folks had them every morning. Peanut butter on toast with bacon was my protein fix. After I got out of the military, where I still ate no eggs, i got aboard with scrambled, with some combination of potatoes, grits, and breakfast meat. I like the occasional deviled egg if it is doctored up with relish, onions and/or hot sauce. Anything runny displeases. It's an odd prejudice, but there it is.
organic or fresh. This will sound really silly but I one time got a rotten egg and it traumatized me (I've gone through some shit and been fine and a nasty egg is what gets under my skin go figure). Ever since then I couldn't stomach an egg unless it was really peak. And primarily in sandwich form. I make a mean egg sandwich. Has to be cooked in butter or bacon grease (from the rare pack of bacon I buy every three years). How good do I make these things? Good enough that people who claim they can't stand eggs sometimes beg for one.
Good sport!!
My favorite way is to make a marinara from scratch, and I add lots of peppers, then I poach the egg right in the middle of the marinara and don't touch the eggs till their done. Then serve over pasta. My foster daughter taught me this while she was in culinary school, and it is mind blowing. The key is a balance between spice and savory, and the egg just brings it all together.
As far as what I say to a waitress at a restaurant, "I HATE choices, bring me something else." I cannot tolerate being asked questions by a waitress.
poached served on top of well mad corned beef hash, homefries and multi-grain toast
When I was young, I could eat steak and eggs over easy every day, just loved it! I'm not supposed to have either any more ?
It's what I desire at the moment. Most favorite, I suppose, is as dip for the day old French bread. Then the French toast is slathered in butter and real maple syrup. Yup that's my favorite way to eat eggs. But, there's also fried nestled on a piece of steak between two pieces of sourdough bread. Eggs aren't the gift that pork is but, they're in the top five.
Hard boiled, with lemon and salt.
That’s almost like shakshuka except for the pasta. For those not familiar, shakshuka is a divine dish of Middle Eastern (various cultures and countries) origin where eggs are poached in a spicy tomato pepper sauce. Sometimes there’s meat involved and almost always some sort of bread. It’s mind-blowingly good.
I eat eggs almost everyday. Although I'll eat them prepared in any fashion, as long as the whites aren't runny, my favorite is over medium, fried in butter, dusted with seasoned salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
That may be what she called it. I don't do well remembering names of things.
There are a lot of ways that I enjoy eggs but one of my favorites is over with the yolk perfectly gelled. No hint of dryness or runniness. Very hard to do consistently.
How did you learn to like soft boiled eggs? I assume you're in the US. I see it so seldom here in part because of salmonella concerns I think. I believe the Brits like to eat it that way in their egg cups and with toasted soldiers. It's also a commonly served breakfast in Malaysia and Singapore, consumed with drops of soy sauce, white pepper and toast. It's also a common food to feed young children there. My English-Canadian acquaintance fed his kid soft boiled eggs here in the US, but I don't see many other North Americans do that.
I won't even ask you about raw quail eggs and natto.
