![]() Tamagoyaki isn’t just fun to say, it’s a blast to eat. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t, but it will probably make you feel like you feel better. Whether or not nourishing hot soup will really help you defeat the common cold is a bigger question. It’s a bracing alternative to chicken noodle soup when you’re fighting off a cold - and we’re confident you can get it delivered right to your door. It’s a simple soup of chicken stock with eggs broken and beaten right into the soup so that they cook in the broth as little flakes and threads, all of which are delicious. Egg Drop SoupĮgg drop soup is one of those egg dishes you won’t have any problem finding in North America, but if you’ve never given it a shot you’re missing out. It’s not the kind of pudding you’re probably thinking of, though - it’s savory and not at all like Jell-O. For the adventurous, there’re a few variations to try: Get it pickled a few different ways, and, depending on how traditional you like it, served with white or black pudding. They’re everywhere - everywhere! - in the UK, and commonly spotted in gastropubs and Anglophile bars in the US. Then the whole thing is breaded and deep fried. It’s a hard-boiled egg inside another egg (of sorts) that’s made of sausage meat. A Scotch egg is one of the heartiest and most satisfying egg dishes around. Have you scheduled your double bypass yet? Get on that. An adorable linguistic sidebar: Croque-monsieur means “Mister Bite” and the madame variety is supposedly so named because the egg looks kinda like a lady’s hat. Slap a fried egg on top and you’ve got a croque-madame. Basically: Bread covered in melty gruyère (or just about any other kind of cheese) with ham and more cheese in the middle. Croque-madame’s an eggy variation on croque-monsieur, everyone’s favorite French snack. Though, we suppose you could eat a croque-madame barehanded if you’re some kind of greasy maniac (Yelp is a no-judgement zone). The best sandwiches are the ones you can’t eat with your hands. An extra tip? If eggs aren’t your style and you’re still reading this (we see you and appreciate your academic interest), paneer bhurji is a common variety that’s every bit as good. Egg bhurji is especially popular in London, and while it might be a little hard to track down in the US, your best shot is an Indian or Pakistani restaurant with breakfast and brunch hours. It’s great on a plate and better in a pita or some naan. Think scrambled eggs with flavor - onions, curry, and spicy stuff out the wazoo. Egg BhurjiĬontrary to popular belief (lots of people spend time thinking about egg bhurji, right?), this dish from India and Pakistan is not the same thing as scrambled eggs… but it’s not far off. It was traditionally a small meal, great for farm workers after starting work in the morning but before really getting down to it in the afternoon - brunch before brunch was a thing. ![]() We’ve got you covered! Literally meaning “Rancher’s Eggs”, huevos rancheros is a savory plate of eggs, tortillas, rice, beans, hot sauce, and everyone’s favorite berry, the avocado. ![]() For those of you not in the know, don’t sweat. Huevos rancheros is an old classic from Mexico that’s long since made it’s way north of the border. Not all international egg dishes are going to be obscure to our American readers. It comes with a side of zhoug, a potent hot sauce that’ll make your shakshouka a breakfast (or brunch, or dinner) you’ll never forget. For the most intense variation, try the Yemeni take. You can serve it to suit different tastes, too, from the mild to the spicy. It’s not just for breakfast, either! In Israel, it’s common to order shakshouka for dinner. In fact, the word shakshouka (or shakshuka) means “mixture” in Arabic. ![]() It’s basically poached eggs served in a cast iron dish with a ton of vegetables. It’s simple to make and - we think - a pleasure to eat. Shakshouka is a favorite in the Middle East and Northern Africa, and every region has their own spin on it. ![]()
