A fried egg is a simple yet versatile dish made by cooking a raw egg in a small amount of oil or butter until the whites are set and the yolk reaches the desired consistency—runny, soft, or firm. A staple in many cuisines worldwide, it is often enjoyed as part of breakfast dishes or used as a topping for rice, noodles, or salads. Nutritionally, one fried egg offers protein for muscle repair and maintenance, essential vitamins like B12 for energy production, and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. It also contains healthy fats from the yolk, which are vital for brain function. However, frying can increase calorie and fat content depending on the type and amount of oil or butter used. Moderation and preparation methods can help make fried eggs a nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet.
