Avgolemono — Greek Egg-Lemon Soup and Sauce
Avgolemono is a family of Greek egg-lemon soups and sauces with Sephardic Jewish roots (agristada), thickened by tempering eggs with lemon juice and hot broth.
Greek cuisine is the Mediterranean culinary tradition of Greece, built on olive oil, grains, vegetables, seafood, and dairy products including feta and yogurt. Featuring iconic dishes such as moussaka, souvlaki, spanakopita, tzatziki, and baklava, Greek cooking emphasizes fresh ingredients, simple preparations, and regional specialties from the mainland and islands.
