Each pleat in a chef's toque allegedly represents a different way the chef
is supposed to know how to cook eggs. To the items listed above I'll add:

truffled
eggs Sardou
eggs Florentine
curried
baked with cream
stracciatella
in fried rice
as the sauce in spaghetti carbonara
in ice cream
brushed onto the outside of a chicken as it spins on a rotisserie
soufflés

There are two good ways to scramble eggs: One with slow heat and constant
stirring to end up with a custardy outcome, the other with high heat and
rapid stirring to end up with billowy soft curds.

There are plenty of ways to fry unbroken-yolk eggs, too: Over-easy,
over-medium, over-hard, sunny-side up, with the lid on the pan to
approximate over-medium, with the lid on the pan and some liquid added so
that the egg steams while it fries, in a ring so that you can make an
English-muffin sandwich, basted with bacon fat, or in a half-inch or so of
olive oil (with smoked paprika and garlic on top).

I'll bet my Gourmet cookbook has more ways than what I've listed, but I
think that'll do for now.

Did anyone say "basted"? One of my favorites.
