Mayonnaise, particularly when used in small amounts, can provide a dose of healthy fats and calories that are essential for energy. It contains vitamins such as E and K, which are beneficial for skin and bone health, respectively. When paired with eggs, which are already rich in protein and essential nutrients like choline and vitamin D, you get a balanced, nutrient-dense start to your day.

1. High Heat: Cooking eggs on high heat can lead to quick coagulation, making them rubbery.

2. Overmixing: Over-beating the eggs can result in a foamy mixture that doesn’t cook evenly.

3. Overcooking: Leaving the eggs on the heat too long dries them out, losing the creamy texture you’re aiming for.

4. Under-seasoning: Eggs benefit greatly from a proper amount of seasoning; don’t forget the salt and pepper.

1. Can I use any type of mayonnaise? Most mayonnaise brands work well, but opting for full-fat varieties will yield the creamiest results.

2. What if I’m lactose intolerant? You can use lactose-free butter substitutes or oils to cook the eggs.

3. Can I make this dish healthier? Yes, using light mayonnaise or even Greek yogurt as a substitute can still provide creaminess with fewer calories.
