Description
“Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs” is a dish that combines chicken-fried steak with eggs, typically served as a hearty breakfast. Chicken-fried steak is a breaded cutlet dish consisting of a piece of beefsteak, most often tenderized cube steak, which is coated with seasoned flour after being dipped in a milk or egg wash. It is then fried in a skillet or deep-fried, similar to the preparation of fried chicken, hence the name “chicken-fried.” The dish is commonly served with a creamy gravy made from pan drippings, and when served for breakfast, it is often accompanied by eggs, toast, and hash browns.
The origins of chicken-fried steak are thought to be in Texas, with influences from German and Austrian immigrants who adapted recipes for Wiener schnitzel to use beef instead of veal. The dish is a staple of Southern cuisine in the United States and has become popular in other regions as well.
For breakfast, chicken-fried steak is typically served with eggs cooked to the diner’s preference, such as scrambled, fried, or poached. The combination of the savory, crispy steak with the creamy gravy and eggs makes for a filling meal that is especially popular in the Midwest and Southern United States.
