If I'm in a hurry, the eggs are scrambled.
If I'm having pancakes with my eggs, I like them fried hard.
Scrambled if in a hurry? I seem to get my eggs faster when I cook them over medium than I do when I scramble them for my wife. Maybe I'm just out of practice for scrambling. Or I just don't want to injure anything on my lathering hand.

I was feeling frisky a couple weeks ago and tried my hand at making an omelet (after reading a couple how-tos on the Internet first) & I was pleasantly surprised with a pretty good omelet. A little runny on the inside, but otherwise very nice.

Either as an omelet, loaded with diced ham, onion, green pepper, cheese and some sort of hot sauce,
or Sunny side up, served over something that will soak up all that snotty goodness, like buttered wheat toast or hash browns.
Then there's what we called a bird's nest when we made them in college. Make some toast, butter it, tear out a half dollar sized hole from the center, throw it in a pan, break an egg over the hole and cook. mmmmmm.....

Over medium, preferably after I've put on my rubber boots, slogged down to the hen house, collected the fresh morning eggs from under the ladies, trudged back to the mud room, exchanged my boots for loafers, and washed the poop off the eggs. (All of which I did many years ago during my hippie "self-sufficiency" days.) There is nothing like really fresh eggs.

i eat scrambled & over easy all the time..
however when i want something special, I poach 'em like this
my how-to:
in a ramekin i lay over a square of plastic wrap, spray some olive oil, or composite white truffle butter and add some herbs d' provence, S&P, whatever else, tie it up with some string, hang it in a pot of high simmering water and cook for a bit...
add some speck or smoked salmon top with fresh dill and some crusty rustic bread and a shot of vodka
and that's how i like my eggs.

I'm going to need a personal demonstration & taste test on this one! Sounds awesome!

Me too!

I like my eggs most ways. The variations mentioned here are all good, as far as I'm concerned.

OK, my favorite is a bit complicated, but something my dad grew up with and then passed on.
Take a large iron skillet, fry up a bunch of bacon; remove bacon and lay pumpernickel in the fat to fry; remove bread; throw in the eggs (sunny side up). Assemble: Fried bread, bacon, egg, then a slice of Swiss. Knife and fork required.
Simply Heaven.
BTW, I can also make a mean Eggs Benedict.
Did I mention that I like bacon.
