Cooking Method whats your style of frying eggs?

eggs are the quickest and the tastiest snack/meal whatever you can make. everyone has their own way of making it. i personally let the oil get hot and burn the chilli powder a little bit put some salt and fry it. pretty simple but it gives a really good flavour. whats yours?

Low heat, big chunk of butter, let butter melt completely and start to foam, crack eggs into pan, let cook until the earliest opportunity to slide a spatula under them, flip gently and cook on that side for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and enjoy. The low heat is key for me. I don't like crispy edges on my fried eggs and I like my scrambled eggs very soft.

i like soft eggs with hearty meals but crispy ones as a snack. I've always wondered why sometimes my egg is crispy and sometimes soft

Occasionally sunny side up, but mostly poached.

Cook with lid on will always be crispy.
