A fried egg pairs well with several items, making it a versatile addition to many meals. According to reference material, the simplest way to serve fried eggs is on their own, but they are often paired with toast, breakfast potatoes, and/or fresh fruit as part of a classic American breakfast.
Here's a breakdown of common pairings:
- Toast: A classic combination. The egg can be served on top of the toast, or the toast can be used to soak up the runny yolk.
- Breakfast Potatoes: Adds a savory and hearty element to the meal.
- Fresh Fruit: Provides a refreshing and sweet contrast to the richness of the egg.
These are just a few examples, and many other foods complement a fried egg.
