Is there a proper cooking term for this?
Is it 'yolk broken, sunny side down'? Or something else?
Cheers!

There is a term for this kind of egg that is commonly used in restaurants. I looked at your questions page, though, and noticed that you never bother to pick a correct answer. When someone gives helpful answers it's customary in polite society to say, "thank you."

Over hard is what you're looking for.
The "chef" that said it was over easy, isn't much of a chef if she doesn't know the difference between over hard and over easy. And the people that said scrambled made me laugh and also very thankful they aren't cooking my breakfast.
1) Over Light; the white is a little runny as well as the yolk
2) Over Easy; the white is done but the yolk is runny
3) Over Medium; the white is done and the yolk is only a little runny
4) Over Hard; the white and the yolk are done and nothing is runny
5) Scrambled; is scrambled.
There's also basted and poached.
Not a "chef" but cooked for 7 years anyway.

I was always told that this was "hard fried" and that "over easy" left the yolk soft, with some of the whites undone, and "over medium" was yolk soft with whites done, and both of these having been flipped so that the yolk was covered with a thin cover of the whites.

The "Breakfast Chef" that answered you is VERY wrong. Hate to eat in her place. Order it over hard and well done. Over easy means not to break the yolk.

It's called "fried hard". Meaning break yolk while frying. Perfect for sandwiches.
At least that what we mean here in Robeson county, North Carolina.

Neither a 'fried egg easy over', nor 'scrambled egg'. Maybe the correct term is a 'mess'?

over, hard, break it...
over hard is well, but some like to break the membrane to make sure that there is no moisture left to give the egg any dignity or slipperyness as it slides down the gullet...
