Eggs (specifically fried or poached)

Eggs are a versatile food rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. They can be prepared in various ways, with fried and poached being popular methods. Fried eggs involve cooking in a hot pan with a small amount of oil or butter, often leading to a crispy edge. Poached eggs are gently cooked in simmering water, resulting in a soft, delicate texture. Both methods allow for various seasonings and toppings, and they are commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as part of other dishes. Eggs are nutritious, affordable, and can be adapted to many culinary styles.
