It's a staple of American and Western breakfasts, often served on its own, in a tortilla, or between slices of toast. The 'filling' concept allows for endless regional and personal variations.
This dish is typically high in protein from the eggs and any added meats or cheese, with a moderate amount of fat. It provides key nutrients like vitamins B12 and D, choline, and selenium, with a rough calorie range of 250-450 per serving depending on the specific fillings and portion size.
