When you think of eggs, you often think of classic preparation methods such as fried or scrambled eggs. Simply Tasty shows that the world of egg dishes is far more diverse.
Eggs are an extremely versatile food that is valued in cuisines worldwide. From savory omelettes to sweet desserts like tiramisu, eggs are an essential part of many cuisine cultures. Simply Tasty presents six of the most popular egg dishes from different parts of the world in this recipe collection.
Egg dishes in different recipes: 1. Chinese egg flake soup
Egg flake soup, also known as “egg drop soup,” is a classic Chinese dish that is easy to make, inexpensive, and extremely delicious. You can enjoy them as an appetizer or light lunch. The name “Egg Drop” comes from the fact that the soup is made from raw eggs that are dropped into the hot broth. Simply Tasty has also already tested the so-called Egg Drop Sandwich – a trendy creation from Korea.
TikTok creator vernahungrybanana, who regularly posts Asian recipe ideas, shows how to make a classic Chinese egg flake soup:
You need these ingredients for the Chinese egg flake soup based on the example of the TikToker:
3 eggs
1 tbsp cornstarch or flour
2-3 tbsp water
1 liter chicken broth
3 tbsp spring onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of white pepper
The preparation is quick and easy:
Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and water until smooth.
Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan and then add two tablespoons of the chopped green onions and the cornstarch-water mixture to the warmed broth and bring to a boil.
Add sesame oil, white pepper and salt to round out the flavor. Reduce the heat and pour the previously beaten eggs into the soup. Garnish these with the remaining spring onions.
Complete. Bon appetit!
2. Çilbir – Turkish eggs
No, this is not the famous American Eggs Benedict. Although there are similarities, yogurt is used instead of hollandaise sauce. Turkish eggs, also known as “Çilbir,” are a delicious Turkish breakfast dish made with poached eggs on Greek yogurt with garlic and a chili butter sauce.

3. French Omelette
We stick to breakfast creations. A classic of French cuisine is the cheese omelet, also known as “Omelette au Fromage”. The preparation may seem simple at first glance, but it requires a bit of sensitivity. Because instead of frying it until golden brown and folding it once like a conventional omelette, it is rolled like a pancake. The addition of herbs and cheese makes it taste particularly good. All cheese lovers can also try the mushroom omelet with melt-in-the-mouth brie and fresh baby spinach salad.
4. German mustard celebration from grandma's kitchen
Mustard celebrations have their origins in traditional German cuisine. It is a hearty dish made from eggs in a mustard sauce and often served in combination with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. In addition, mustard in a jar is also a popular option for finger food. Maybe for some people the mustard celebration will bring back nostalgic memories of childhood when it was prepared by grandma.
5. Deep fried Russian eggs – an eye-catcher on every plate
Deep-fried Russian eggs, a traditional Russian dish, are ideal as an appetizer or side dish for special occasions due to their attractive appearance. They consist of hard-boiled eggs filled with a spicy mixture of egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, crème fraîche, salt, pepper and chili powder. The eggs are then breaded and deep fried until they are golden brown. The result – a delicious combination of creamy filling and crispy breading.
6. North African egg dish: Shakshuka
Now comes an egg creation that will delight all tomato fans. Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern dish made from poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. This delicious mix is not only delicious, but also versatile and even vegetarian. You can enjoy it as breakfast, brunch or even a quick dinner. Shakshuka tastes best when served with fresh flatbread or pita.
