Add 1 dessert spoon of vegetable oil, 1 dessert spoon of butter, and 4 matchbox-sized portions of white cheese (similar to feta) to a pan. Mash the cheese and let it melt. Once the cheese has fully melted, crack in the eggs and stir. Once the eggs are cooked, serve immediately.

Cooking Tip

If you prefer a stronger egg flavor, you can make this with 4 eggs; if you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, use 5 matchbox-sized portions of white cheese. Those who enjoy dipping bread can leave the eggs slightly underdone.

About This Recipe

Eggs are a special food with the highest quality protein among all foods… Egg protein contains all the essential amino acids the body needs from outside sources, in a balanced and sufficient amount. Eggs contain a large proportion of many vitamins and minerals, most notably vitamins A, D, E, and the B-group vitamins, all of which are necessary for healthy nutrition. A food particularly rich in protein, eggs are of great importance for the physical and mental development of children. Eggs contain choline, which plays an important role in brain development.

Experts emphasize that it would be a mistake to judge an egg's nutritional value by the color of its shell. Whether an egg is brown or white depends entirely on the breed of the hen. Brown and white eggs are identical in terms of nutritional value. Let's explore this topic a little further: there are two opposing views on this matter in the world. The first claims that a white shell indicates the egg has completed its ideal formation, and that any other color indicates a drop in quality. The second view holds that the darker the shell color, the more nutritionally valuable the egg. However, both views are entirely wrong. In terms of nutritional value, flavor, and cooking methods, the contents of both colors of egg are of equal value. Both eggs contain the same amounts of protein, minerals, and vitamins.

Brown eggs are particularly favored in European countries, while in America the opposite is true — white eggs are preferred. The only people who need to concern themselves with shell color are those who package and sell them. After all, having eggs of the same color in a single pack is always a preference for customers.
