Eggs are more than just a breakfast staple—they’re a symbol of comfort, nutrition, and versatility. Whether you like them scrambled, fried, poached, or hard-boiled, there’s no denying their place on the classic diner menu. In honor of National Egg Day (celebrated every year on June 3), one of your favorite Winchester restaurants is serving up some egg-citing facts that will make you appreciate your morning meal even more.
A Timeless Breakfast Classic
Humans have been eating eggs for thousands of years. The domestication of chickens dates back to around 7500 BCE in Southeast Asia, and eggs have been a breakfast favorite ever since. Their simple preparation and satisfying protein punch make them a timeless choice.
Nutrition Packed in a Shell
One large egg contains about 6 grams of high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12, D, and choline, which supports brain health. Despite past cholesterol concerns, more recent research shows that eggs can be part of a heart-healthy diet for most people.
White or Brown? It’s All the Same Inside
Ever wonder what the difference is between white and brown eggs? It’s all about the breed of the chicken. Nutritionally, there’s no major difference between the two—just a change in shell color. So pick your favorite!
The Many Ways to Cook One Egg
There are at least 100 different ways to cook an egg—and that’s just the beginning. From omelets and sunny-side-up to deviled eggs and frittatas, this humble ingredient continues to inspire creativity in kitchens around the world.
Eggs Are All About Timing
When it comes to cooking eggs, timing is everything. A soft-boiled egg takes about 6 minutes, while a hard-boiled one needs closer to 10. Want the perfect scrambled eggs? Low and slow is the key to creamy, fluffy results.
