Eggs are my favorite food. I like eggs for several reasons. Firstly, eggs are very nutritious; they contain protein which is good for our health. Secondly, they always taste good, no matter how they are cooked. What's more, cooking and eating them is very easy. Lastly, eggs are not expensive, and can be eaten every day.
Eggs often accompany other foods, adding to their fine taste. For me, two slices of toast with a fried eggs is the best choice for breakfast. Some cooks think adding eggs to soup can make the flavor of the soup better. Small as eggs are, they are an important ingredient of many dishes, so it would be hard to imagine food without eggs.
