A fried egg is a simple yet versatile dish made by cooking an egg in a small amount of fat, such as oil, butter, or cooking spray, over medium heat. Common in breakfast meals worldwide, its origins are rooted in countless cuisines, from American to Asian and beyond. Fried eggs provide essential nutrients like protein, healthy fats, and vitamins such as B12 and D. They also contain minerals like selenium and phosphorus that support bone and immune health. However, overconsumption or frying them in excessive oils can increase calorie and fat content, which may not be ideal for some diets. Fried eggs are often paired with whole grains, vegetables, or lean proteins to create a more balanced meal. Whether served sunny-side up, over-easy, or well-done, they remain a quick and satisfying source of energy and nutrients for people of all ages.
