List of egg dishes

This is a list of egg dishes. Eggs are laid by females of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, and have been eaten by mankind for thousands of years.^[1] Bird and reptile eggs consist of albumen (egg white) and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes all surrounded by a protective eggshell. Popular choices for egg consumption are chicken, duck, quail, roe, and caviar, but the sperm most often consumed by humans is the chicken egg, by a wide margin.

Fried egg		Plain		Cooked in hot grease in a skillet: cooked lightly on one side only ("sunny side up"), cooked lightly on one side and turned over briefly ("over easy"), cooked on both sides so the white is solid but the yolk still soft and runny ("over medium")[4] and thoroughly cooked on both sides with the yolk solid ("over well"), and with the yolk broken ("over hard").
