How would you like your Eggs?

I'm rather picky with how I like eating my breakfast eggs. There is that slim margin when the eggs are perfectly cooked; no runny insides nor are there any crusties around the edges. Nana always made the yummiest and most flawless eggs for breakfast. She cooked her eggs on low heat, covered the pan for a few minutes and simmered those babies in butter! Another key to her pretty eggs...the yolk was runny. I didn't like my yolks runny. I never said anything to her though, I'd just eat all the egg whites and then try to get away with throwing the yolk part away. But of course there is no wasting of anything at Nana's! She was always there encouraging me to not miss out on the important nutrients of the egg yolk. I did different things like squeezing out most of the yolk, but then I took to just shoving the whole yolk in my mouth the  swallowing quickly. In the beginning I would gag the yolk down, though many more eggs down the road I began to love the runny yolk! And so today, I prefer my eggs over easy/sunny side up. I still eat my eggs in the same youthful manner as well; I eat all the whites first, pivoting around the egg yolk, and then I just shove the whole yolk in my mouth (which is attributed to my little OCD of not wanting the yolk getting all over my plate, one bite solves that problem haha).
