Eggs Around the World

Some ingredients are common and international such as rice, fish, and bread. But what makes these universal ingredients truly unique is how different cultures are able to put their spin on a staple food item. Most commonly associated with breakfast, the egg can be made fried, scrambled or poached such as in the North African dish of shakshuka!

Since eggs are so popular they are also a great dish to bring to your local potluck or barbeque. In the U.S. deviled eggs are commonly made as a dish to share with many people and add a freshness in contrast with the hot barbeque. But if you are in London it may be more likely to bring scotch eggs to a cookout. Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage meat and deep friend.

While none of these dishes are especially healthy they do show the wide array of ways eggs are appreciated around the world. Be sure to try any of these styles of eggs you haven’t had before and spice up the common egg!
