Eggs, eggs and eggs- huevos too

I was asked a question about eggs today, and so I thought it was about time we built the definitive list of eggs and egg dishes and ways to prepare eggs along with the translation in Spanish. I'll get started.

egg white The clear part of the egg, that turns white when cooked.
claro La parte blanca o transparente del huevo.

yolk, egg yolk The yellow part in the center of the egg.
yema La parte amarilla del huevo.

hard-boiled egg An egg with the shell on, boiled in water until the egg white and yolk are cooked hard.
??? Un huevo se se hierva en su cáscara hasta que esté duro por dentro (claro y yema).

Eggs over easy A whole egg is cooked on a griddle or in a frying pan. The yolk stays intact and is centered in the white. The egg is cooked on one side, and slightly cooked on the other side.
??? Un huevo entero se cocina en una sartén. La yema no se rompe y está centrada en el claro. Se cocina bien de un lado, se voltea y se cocina un poco del otro lado.

Eggs over hard Same as 'eggs over easy' except the egg is cooked well-done on both sides.
??? Igual a 'eggs over easy' pero el huevo se cocina bien de los dos lados.

Scrambled eggs One or more eggs are broken into a dish and mixed with a little milk, salt, cream etc and then cooked in a pan, being mixed and chopped up while they are cooking.
Huevos revueltos Se rompen huevos en un tazón y se le agrega leche, crema, sal etc, y se cocina en una sartén, revolviendo el huevo mientras se cocina.

Poached eggs A whole egg, out of the shell, is boiled in water.
??? Un huevo entero, sin la cáscara, se cocina en agua hervida.

Sunny side up eggs An egg is fried in a pan without breaking the yolk. The egg is only cooked on one side.
??? Un huevo se cocina en una sartén sin que se rompa la yema. Sólo se cocina de un lado.

Omelette Scrambled eggs made to form a round flat layer and wrapped around: potatoes, cheese, ham, and/or other ingredients.
Omelette (en México), Tortilla (en España ?) ??

Deviled eggs The egg is hard-boiled in the shell, then it is cut in half, the yolk removed and mixed with mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and mustard etc and returned to the center of each of the egg white halves.
Huevos rellenos??? El huevo en su cáscara se hierve en agua y luego se parte a la mitad, se le saca la yema, la cual se mescla con mayonesa, sal, pimienta, mostaza etc, y después se rellena las mitades del claro cocido con el relleno de yema.


So if you all have some translations/definitions/other variants and can help me out, I'll update this post with the new information. Gracias.
