If you want to fry the eggs, you could put some oil, butter or margarine in a pan or on a flat griddle ( like one you would use for pancakes ), then crack the egg open directly over the greased spot. At this point, if you mix up the egg, it is considered fried. If you leave it alone and let the clear part turn white and don't touch the yellow center, this is sunny side up. If you leave it alone like sunny side up, then flip the white part over the yellow center, then this is sunny side down. If you were to crack the egg into a bowl and mix it up in the bowl first, then pour it onto the griddle ( or into the pan ), with some gentle stirring while it is cooking, this is considered scrambled.
You can also boil eggs. If you boil it in it's shell, depending on how long you leave the egg in the boiling water, you would have a boiled egg ( 9 minutes is soft boiled, 11 minutes is medium set and 15 is hard boiled ) You can also crack the egg open into a pot of simmering water with a teaspoon of vinegar for poached eggs.
You can also bake eggs. These recipes are more complicated. These would be the quiches and souffles.
For health reasons, all eggs should be cooked till they are firmly set, meaning, not liquidy at all. If you prefer a runny egg, get eggs that have been pasteurized in the shell.
Enjoy

Yes, but how much depends on how you are going to cook the eggs. If scrambled, using an 8 inch fry pan, pour about 2, or 3 tablespoons full of wesson oil. Keep your flame low to medium, or you will burn the eggs. Scramble the eggs in a bowl with a fork,or wisk, then gently pour into the fry pan. Season with salt and black pepper while cooking. Stir eggs occasinally until fully cooked,( no runny part). Warm up some flour tortillas or make some buttered toast and get down with it. Of course the meal will taste better if you have hash browns and some bacon , oh, and a cup of coffee (or milk).

Butter works. However will burn at low temp.'s
Use 1/2 tsp olive oil, ensure to coat entire pan. Pre-heat pan to medium and add eggs.

Bacon grease is the best for fried eggs but if you don't have bacon grease use margarine. Butter burns.

Oil or butter, something so the egg won't stick.
