I will add that, at least in the US, whenever a menu states that a dish is topped with a "fried egg," it almost always implies that the egg will have a runny yolk. You often see this on sandwiches (particularly hamburgers), and often as an optional addition. Typically, the egg will be shallow fried similar to what is sometimes called the "Spanish Method." This produces a solid white, runny yolk, and crispy browned edges of the whites. Ordering eggs "over easy," "sunny side up," or "soft poached" at most breakfast/brunch places will produce a solid white and runny yolk, but it will typically not result in the crispy edges.
