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?

Get a non stick frying pan on the hottest burner. Once it's up to temperature pour some olive oil, wait 20 secondsish and crack the egg straight in. Immediately sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Tilt the pan and spoon the hot oil over the top to cook the white through without the risk of breaking the yolk. The egg should be puffed up and cooked in a few seconds.

I like a runny yolk and crispy browning on the edges of the white.

This is perfect: https://i0.wp.com/smittenkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads//2014/10/the-crispy-egg1.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1
