Chef toques have 100 pleats.

There are 100 ways to cook an egg
They are usually inexpensive in the grocery store; ranging from $.08 to $.15 a piece and have I mean seriously, off the top of my head:
scrambled,baked, poached, boiled, pan fried, sunny side whatever, over easy, over med, over hard, omelette, anglaise, hollandaise, bearnaise, custard, souffle, tempered, pickled, tea eggs, basted, shirred, coddled, meringue, frittata, steam, soft hard poach ( poach in shell),deviled, egg salad, toad in a hole/ eggs in a basket. ( egg cooked in a hole cut out of bread.)
