Unless you’re vegan, the egg could be a perfect part of your regular diet. Eggs are high in protein and are also a good source of other nutrients. From www.healthline.com comes this information: [An egg has] only 77 calories, with 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein with all 9 essential amino acids. Rich in iron, phosphorus, selenium and vitamins A, B12, B2 and B5 (among others). About 113 mg of choline, a very important nutrient for the brain.

The Most Popular American Egg Dishes
This site, again, related to the other two, has even more. Here are just a few.
- Eggs Hussarde is a New Orleans dish that was originally made with poached eggs which have been placed on top of Holland rusks, red wine reduction sauce (Marchand de vin), and Canadian bacon. Finally, the concoction was topped with Hollandaise sauce.
- Eggs Neptune is an American dish consisting of a split English muffin with crab meat, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce sandwiched in between. The dish is a variation on eggs Benedict, and crab meat is used as a replacement for ham or bacon. Eggs Neptune is traditionally served for breakfast, and it is especially popular on Father’s Day and Mother’s Day.
- Creamed Eggs On Toast: Creamed eggs on toast is a traditional American dish that pairs eggs with white sauce over a piece of toast. Said to have its roots back in the Depression era, this dish typically consists of toasted slices of bread that are topped with a mixture of a creamy white sauce and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
- Eggs Sardou: Originally invented at the famous Antoine’srestaurant in New Orleans, eggs Sardou is a Creole dish consisting of poached eggs, creamed spinach, Hollandaise sauce, and artichoke bottoms. The dish got its name after Victorien Sardou, a 19th-century French playwright who was staying in the city when the dish was invented.
- Hangtown Fry: Possibly the very first Californian dish, named for its birthplace which is today known as Placerville, Hangtown fry was invented during the California Gold Rush in the 1850s. Legend has it that the dish originated at the famed El Doradohotel, when a miner, just having struck it rich, barged into a saloon demanding the most extravagant dish in the house.
- Joe’s Special: Some say that this popular San Franciscan delicacy was invented by a San Francisco chef as an alternative to the Italian frittata, and others claim that it came to be when a starving musician ordered an omelet after hours but asked the chef to add something extra to the eggs.
In Closing
I love a good egg.
