Fried egg

Fried eggs are a delicious and versatile breakfast food, but they didn’t always enjoy the popularity they do today. In fact, the history of fried egg recipes is a bit of a mystery.

It’s believed that fried eggs were first popularized in the Middle East, where they were known as “eggs in hell.” From there, they spread to Europe, where they became a staple of Spanish and Italian cuisine.

Fried eggs didn’t become popular in America until the late 19th century, when they were introduced by German and Austrian immigrants. Egg dishes were initially seen as foreign and exotic, but they soon became a breakfast staple.

Advice

When making fried eggs, it is important to use a non-stick pan and to make sure that the pan is hot before adding the egg. Use a small amount of oil or butter to lightly coat the pan, and then crack the egg into the pan. Cook the egg on medium-low heat, allowing the whites to cook fully, and then flip the egg over for a few seconds to finish cooking. Once the egg is cooked, use a spatula to carefully remove it from the pan and enjoy!
