I find that I need a really good, or fairly new, non stick pan. It makes the folding of the egg easy, and makes it easy to slide the egg off the pan by just tilting the pan towards your plate.
I also cover my pan, at low heat, so that the egg cooks quickly on both sides, this keeps the egg "tender", and makes it less prone to breaking apart when trying to fold or slide out of the pan. I remove the cover for the last 1-2 minutes it's cooking.
I have recently started covering the pan while cooking eggs and it's made a big difference in terms of sliding it off onto the plate.
With ground meats, it goes a long way towards the very lean meats being juicy and flavorful rather than dry and miserable.
Right now I use a cheap $20 3-pan set I got from Sam's. It's a decent brand, Tramontina. I only use the smallest pan in the set for cooking eggs.
Everyone should have a dedicated egg pan. It makes a big difference IMO.
I like the idea of having an egg pan. I use the same nonstick pan for pretty much everything. It was a gift from my mom, and it's held up really well. I also have a cast iron pan but I save that for steaks.
