I think fried eggs are only good with hot sauce or spicy mustard

For the last few years I've been eating and experimenting with egg consumption and preparation. I've come to the conclusion that eggs are, essentially, a utility food. Not entirely undesireable, but also not entirely pleasant.

Do you eat simple fried eggs?

What's the best way to cook a fried egg? I usually use a lot of butter and also use the water steam cover method, and my eggs always are really wet, but I'm starting to think of alternative methods

I usually just have eggs and toast

How do you eat fried eggs? My friend will rip his toast and dip it into the yolks and then eat what is left, I will fork up a bit of the whites, place them on my toast and eat it bite by bite until only the yolk remains and then eat them on the final bite of toasts

>frying eggs, using the steam+lid technique cause pans suck and can't flip eggs
>inspect, center is still too snotty, recover
>walk away from seconds to butter my toast
>check eggs again, the yolks are now too cooked

Can you guys teach me the secrets of perfect fried egg cooking?

How do you eat your fried eggs? I always slice off bits of the white, and eat simultaneously with bites of buttered toast until only the yolk remains, which I break in half, and sop up with the toast before topping the remaining bites of toast with the yolk halves

My friend Jim however, immediately breaks the yolk open, and eats the whites drenched in the yolk juice. Once finished he eats his toast separately with jam.
