Eggs are one of two foods that I generally feel I should enjoy rather more than I actually do (the other being fish) - they're just so versatile that I'd have thought there should be some form of eggs that I'd enjoy... but I just haven't found one.

I do enjoy other things that are made with eggs, just not eggs themselves.

According to my mother I ate all the eggs in the world when I was little, then before puberty starting hating the taste and smell of them.

In my 30s I started experimenting with having scrambled eggs again in hotel buffets when traveling, which I could manage as well as they weren't runny and had enough salt and black pepper.

In my 40s I resumed eating them as omelettes or scrambled as a regular breakfast staple, albeit heavily seasoned and often fried in bacon fat.

Over the last several years I've managed to cut out the bacon fat (butter will do), reduce the seasoning, and stop overcooking them to browning, getting a perfect yellow most of the time. They are an excellent nutritional staple, but I still don't LOVE the flavor, always seasoning them and almost always mixing veggies (sliced avocado over the top most often) or occasionally meats in. I can also enjoy a runny fried egg ONLY on bibimbap or the right burger. So omelette wins for me, with scrambled also in contention. Pretty much any other form (cold or hot) remains repellant.
