A fried egg is a classic dish made by cooking an egg in a small amount of fat, such as oil or butter, typically on a stovetop. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, it is a versatile addition to breakfasts, sandwiches, or rice dishes. Fried eggs offer a good source of protein, vitamins like B12, and essential minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. The egg yolk provides healthy fats, including omega-3s, but also contains cholesterol, which may be a concern for some individuals. The fat used for frying can add calories and saturated fats, making cooking methods an important factor in its healthiness. For a lighter option, frying in minimal oil or using non-stick cookware can reduce added fats. Easy to prepare and nutrient-rich, fried eggs can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
