About Eggs fried

Fried eggs are a popular dish worldwide, often prepared as a breakfast staple. This simple cooking method involves frying whole eggs, typically in a small amount of oil or butter, until the whites are cooked and the yolks reach the desired consistency. Originating in diverse cuisines, fried eggs are versatile and pair well with various side dishes.

Vitamins like B2 (riboflavin), B12, and D, along with minerals such as selenium and phosphorus, contribute to its nutritional value. However, fat content can increase depending on the type and amount of oil or butter used during cooking, making moderation key for balanced eating.
