June 3 - National Egg Day


Happy National Egg Day! On June 3, today is a good time to get cracking on this annual observance. 

The nutrient-rich food has gone back and forth with science and nutritionists over the decades as to just how many eggs are too many for a healthy diet. However, one egg provides an excellent source of protein and vitamin D.  

At seventy-five calories and 5 grams of fat, it’s an easy choice to satisfy hunger, too. Eggs are easily seasoned and pair well with vegetables to increase the nutritional value of a meal. 

Eggs are an essential ingredient to baked goods and are a part of our everyday diets. There’s so much to celebrate in these small packages. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Enjoy eggs for breakfast.  How about a fried egg sandwich for lunch? What’s your favorite way to enjoy an egg?

HISTORY 

While National Day Calendar® has yet identified the origins of this egg-cellent holiday, take a crack at these other food celebrations. They’re hard to beat.  

That’s all, yolks! 


Hard boiled, soft boiled, hard scrambled, soft scrambled, "perfect" scrambled, omelettes, frittatas, scrambles & hashes, sunny side up, sunny side down, over easy, over medium, over hard, poached, baked or shirred, basted, Spanish fried or deviled...you can't go wrong with any of these today.       

How do you like your eggs?
