If there's a "signature James Bond meal" it's scrambled eggs. He eats them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - generally with coffee and bacon or sausage. Bond ate so much that Fleming even included a recipe for them in his short story "Thrilling Cities":

JAMES BOND SCRAMBLED EGGS

12 fresh eggs
Salt and pepper
5-6 oz. of fresh butter

Break the eggs into a bowl. Beat thoroughly with a fork and season well. In a small copper (or heavy bottomed saucepan) melt four oz. of the butter. When melted, pour in the eggs and cook over a very low heat, whisking continuously with a small egg whisk.

While the eggs are slightly more moist than you would wish for eating, remove the pan from heat, add rest of butter and continue whisking for half a minute, adding some herbs to taste (oregano, parsley, or Italian mix).  Serve on hot buttered toast in individual copper dishes (for appearance only) with pink champagne (Taittinger) and low music.
