Fried Egg

Fried Egg is a fast-recovery cooked food restoring approximately 15 HP over 5 seconds, making it one of the quickest minor heals available from the Cooking Station. The near-instant delivery is suited for small top-offs when taking light chip damage between skirmishes rather than recovering from serious injury. As one of the earliest foods accessible in the game, it provides a useful baseline before better cooking options are unlocked.

Eggs are the only required ingredient, dropped by birds and mixed fauna including Goose, Swallow, and Gruntpig. The cross-species availability means Egg drops are common enough to maintain a steady cooking supply without dedicated hunting routes. Preparation at the standard Cooking Station is quick and straightforward.

Fried Egg trades healing volume for speed compared to Roasted Meat, offering slightly less HP but at an equally brisk pace. Neither food is designed for serious recovery, so both function best as supplemental snacks alongside the main healing pipeline of Mushroom Stew and potions like the Healing Potion. For early-game players who have not yet unlocked Mushroom Stew, rotating Fried Egg and Roasted Meat provides a reasonable stopgap that uses different ingredient sources so neither supply is depleted too quickly.
