How many ways can one prepare an egg, meaning "whole" eggs as the main dish.
This was the main
reason I questioned the origin of the significance of the number of pleats.

fried (sunny up and over-easy)
basted
braized (fry and then steaming the top is more braized than basted)
scrambled
omelet
fritata
poached
boiled
coddled
dropped (as in egg flower soup)
Beijing

Any others?

Well, I guess if Beijing counts, then Benedict and Florentine are not the
same as poached. Considering that, I see there are easily 100 ways to cook
an egg. But I would still like to hear more. Thanks

Florentine is classically poached and topped with Mornay sauce, but I
allowed it as a "way to prepare whole eggs" as a main dish. I see you have
an oven-poached version with a quick sort-of cheese sauce. I believe
Frittata and Souffle are typically finished in the oven, as are shirred eggs

I am sort of blurring the line between "method" and "way" to prepare
eggs---only because I came up with so few "methods" and we are trying to hit
100. To me "methods" fall into the categories of dry heat (including oil),
moist heat and combinations, where only the egg treatment varies (fry,
scramble, poach, etc.), not the ingredients of a recipe. But, hey, I want
to hear it all now, just to see if there is any way there could have been
100 ways in Careme's day. Obviously, if I poach an egg and then come up
with 100 sauces it can be topped with.......

Is there a "raw" egg main dish anyone knows of, including acid methods of
coagulation instead of heat. Wondering what you get if you drop raw egg
into wine or lemon juice and leave it for several hours. Besides a likely
case of Salmonella. LOL

Just thought of another.... Deviled!

OK, OK, ...no mas! ...heh heh

I know of several egg dishes that are baked (frittata, quiche, etc), but
they'd already been mentioned. "Baked" just sounded weird to me cuz I kept
visualizing an egg in its shell being baked. OTOH, egg Florentine is
something I've never tried. Live n' learn.

Ways to cook an egg?

No one's mentioned Goldenrod, but I suppose since you start with a hardboiled
egg, that would cover it.

Jacque Pepin has a wonderful recipe where you make devilled eggs then saute
them. You can also pickle eggs.
