About Cheesy fried egg

Cheesy Fried Egg is a comforting, indulgent dish offering a delightful twist to classic fried eggs. It features eggs pan-fried until the whites are set and topped with a generous layer of melted cheese, typically cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix for balanced flavor and texture. Popular in Western and fusion cuisines, this quick and easy recipe is often served for breakfast or as a savory snack. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious ingredient. The addition of cheese boosts calcium and protein content but also increases saturated fat and sodium levels, making portion control essential for a balanced diet. For a healthier variation, low-fat cheese and minimal added oil can be used. Pairing it with whole-grain toast or fresh vegetables can enhance its nutritional value while complementing its creamy, savory appeal.
