Are there really 100 ways to serve an egg? What's Your Favorite?

Did you know that one whole, large raw egg (50 grams) contains:
Calories: 72. Protein: 6 grams. Fat: 5 grams. Vitamin A: 9% of the RDI. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 13% of the RDI. Pantothenic acid(Vitamin B5 ): 8% of the RDI. Vitamin B12: 7% of the RDI. Selenium: 22% of the RDI. Phosphorus: 10% of the RDI. Folate: 6% of the RDI.

In addition, one raw egg contains 147 mg of choline, an essential nutrient important for maintaining normal liver and brain health.
It’s important to note that almost all the nutrients are concentrated in the yolk. The white mostly consists of protein.
There is a myth that a raw egg can cure a hangover.

What nonsense, by the time you’ve got a hangover, the damage from alcohol is done. Therefore, any nutritional benefit from raw eggs will have a negligible impact and the chances are, that the egg could have salmonella, so now you not only have a hangover, you have food poisoning too. Salmonella dies when an egg is cooked so the risk isn’t there with a cooked egg.
 
I was once given a "thousand year old" egg. A Chinese delicacy supposedly.

It was one of the worst things I have ever tried to eat. After spitting the first bite out I washed my mouth out for a good while.

So my least favorite.

I think this is what it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg

Either the Chinese have very different tastes than I, or I just got a real bad one...

I've heard about these eggs but never saw one. Here is a photo from that Wiki link-

Fascinating. Amber and jade.
 
I like scrambled eggs and they must look scrambled, not fried. But my new favorite way to make eggs is a "bowl omelette". It's so easy for a lazy cook like me. I spray a bowl with non stick spray and add a few pieces of frozen onion, pepper mix, spray it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (ICBINB) and microwave for 30 seconds. I add egg whites (from a carton), spray with more ICBINB, add lemon pepper seasoning and cook for 2 minutes in the microwave, folding over the more firm parts after 1 minute. I usually top with ketchup and have a slice of wheat toast with it. I garnished with organic tomatoes this time because I needed to use them up.

I didn't read every post here (22 pages!) so I hope I don't repeat another post. But, my favorite is what I call Carol McMuffin. It's my version of Mickey D's breakfast sandwich. I fry an egg and break the yolk (of course), add a sausage patty on the egg, top with American cheese, and cover until the cheese melts. I put the whole thing on a lightly toasted and buttered English muffin. So much better than McDonald's! Sometimes I switch out the sausage for bacon. Also good!

Sounds good. Especially since the yolk would be cooked through!
