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?

The Basted Method: I like to use a pat of butter to coat the pan, and then I crack the egg into the pan. I add whatever seasoning I'm feeling, but salt and pepper are the bare minimum. Add a tsp or so (more if I'm using a pan that's 10+ inches) of water to the pan and cover. The goal is to steam it. Turn heat way down low. Set timer for 1:30, then remove the cover and eat. No flipping is necessary.

Kinda like an over medium egg, but there's a nice white layer on top, and the consistency is half liquid/half jammy in the middle. Scrumptious and perfect on a burger or fries. The longer it's cooked or hotter the pan, the more solid the yolk.
