"Ovo Frito, a classic staple in Brazilian cuisine, is simply a fried egg prepared by cooking an egg in a small amount of oil or butter until the white is set and the yolk remains soft or firm, based on preference. This versatile dish is enjoyed as a side or topping for meals like rice and beans or served with toast for breakfast. Nutritionally, Ovo Frito is a good source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins such as B12, D, and choline. However, its healthfulness can vary depending on the cooking method and amount of added fat. Using minimal oil and opting for heart-healthy choices like olive oil can make it a lighter option. While delicious and quick to prepare, moderation is key, as frequently eating fried foods may contribute to higher fat intake. Ovo Frito remains a simple, flavorful addition to meals across cultures."
