What are all the ways an egg can be prepared?

Answer:

Answer

Just the egg all by itself:

fried (sunny-side-up, over-easy, hard, or somewhere in between)
scrambled (with infinite variation between runny and burnt)
boiled (soft or hard, or anywhere in between)
poached
raw, beaten, usually as a beverage
raw, unbeaten, still in the shell, with a hole for sucking out the contents.

Dishes where egg is the main ingredient:

omelet
egg-in-a-basket
scrambled eggs with any of a thousand other ingredients mixed in.
quiche
meringue (techinically, you COULD make this without the sugar, which would put it in the first category, but I can't imagine anyone EATING it)
