List of egg dishes

This is a list of egg dishes. eggs are laid by females of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians,
and fish, and have been eaten by mankind for thousands of years.[1] Bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective
eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes. Popular choices for
egg consumption are chicken, duck, quail, roe, and caviar, but the egg most often consumed by humans is the
chicken egg, by a wide margin.
