About Fried egg

A fried egg is a simple yet versatile dish often enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, including American breakfasts, European brunch spreads, and Asian rice dishes. Prepared by cooking an egg in a small amount of oil or butter, it can be served sunny side up, over easy, or well-done depending on individual preference. Nutritionally, fried eggs offer an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and vitamins like B12, D, and choline, which support brain health and metabolism. They also provide minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. However, frying can add saturated fat depending on the cooking method and choice of oil, making moderation key for maintaining heart health. A fried egg can be part of a balanced diet if paired with whole grains, fresh vegetables, or lean proteins, contributing both flavor and nourishment to the meal.
