Eggs and brains
Portuguese breakfast dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eggs and brains is a breakfast meal consisting of pork brains (or those of another mammal) and scrambled eggs.[1] It is a dish of Portuguese cuisine known as omolete de mioleira[2] (English: brain omelette). In Austria, the dish is known as Hirn mit Ei ("calf's brain with eggs")[3] and used to be very common, but has seen a sharp drop in popularity.
In the United States
In the American Midwest, the components in the name are reversed, and it is called "brains and eggs".[2] It is also a breakfast dish in the cuisine of the Southern United States[4] and has also been served as a lunch dish.[5]
