Ovo Cozido, or boiled egg, is a staple in many cuisines, particularly Portuguese and global diets due to its simplicity and versatility. This dish consists solely of eggs cooked in boiling water until the desired firmness of the yolk is achieved—soft or hard. Packed with high-quality protein, Ovo Cozido provides essential nutrients, including vitamins D, B12, and choline, which contribute to brain health and cell function. It’s low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a favorite among those seeking balanced diets or weight management. However, eggs do contain cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring cholesterol levels. Serve Ovo Cozido as a snack, part of a salad, or alongside other dishes for a nutritious, satisfying boost.
