🧂 Why Do We Always Start with Eggs? How did the egg become the king of breakfast?

One egg, endless possibilities.

Snacks, Sandwiches & Desserts 🍰đŸ„Ș

A tiny food with timeless power. đŸ•°ïž

 

You open the fridge in the morning, thinking about what to eat. You see the usual suspects: some salami, butter, maybe a bit of liver pùté, some veggies


But somehow, you want to eat something warm.

And then your eyes land on the eggs.

Suddenly, a dozen ideas flash through your mind: fried eggs, scrambled, soft-boiled, sandwich spread, you name it.

But seriously... why do we always start with eggs?

 

🍳 A little history – breakfast eggs are nothing new

 

Eggs have been on breakfast tables a long time ago. Back in Victorian England, soft-boiled eggs with toast "soldiers" were already a thing. In American diners, two eggs with bacon became a staple breakfast in the 1930s and never left the menu.

During wartime, eggs were cheap, quick, and nutritious, making them a perfect everyday option. Fast forward to today, and those same qualities keep them at the top of every breakfast list.

 

đŸ„š Small but mighty – the egg is a nutrient bomb

 

Let's break it down (pun intended):

  • Protein that keeps you full without weighing you down
  • B vitamins to wake up your brain
  • Vitamin D especially handy in gloomy months
  • And basically, everything a tiny life form needs to exist

It's quick to cook (1–7 minutes max), and even if your fridge is empty, there's usually still an egg or two hanging in there. It's the undisputed survival food of the modern kitchen.

 

😄 The egg paradox – it goes with everything
 except microwaves

 

Here's the fun part:

  • It fries, it boils, it scrambles, it poaches, it fluffs up
  • Works in sweet and savory recipes
  • And yes, it's usually budget-friendly

BUT... ⚠ Put it in the microwave, and it's game over.

You'll either end up with rubber or an egg explosion.

So, even in the 21st-century high-tech kitchen, you will still need a simple frying pan or pot to make eggs for the best results.

 

Fresh ingredients on a white plate: tomatoes, lettuce, chili, spring onion and brown eggs – ready for a breakfast dish.

 

📩 Best of all? You don’t have to be a chef.

 

You don’t need a culinary degree to make an egg breakfast. All you need is:

a frying pan

a fork

a little confidence

and maybe a slice of bread

VoilĂ . In minutes, you can have fried eggs, quick scrambled eggs, or even good old-fashioned French toast. So, even in our high-tech 21st-century kitchens, the egg still prefers a simple pan or pot to do its best work.

 

💡 The egg universe is just beginning...

 

If you've only done sunny-side-up until now, I've got good news: there's a whole world of eggy goodness out there. Think poached eggs, shakshuka, tamagoyaki, egg wraps, egg toast cups, or even fried rice with a golden yolk on top


And yes, I'll be sharing more of them right here on Prepmix. 😉

 

So tell me:

đŸ„š How do you like your eggs in the morning?

 

Drop a comment, or head over to one of my egg-packed recipes – because sometimes all it takes is one egg to start the day right.
