Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means the body absorbs it more effectively when it is consumed with fat.
According to the health publication Verywell Health, fat helps the body absorb the vitamin through the intestines.
Egg yolks already contain a small amount of fat. Even so, it can be beneficial to eat eggs alongside other healthy sources of fat.
Good choices for your meal
Verywell Health recommends pairing eggs with foods such as olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, oily fish, and dairy products.

These foods provide healthy fats while also adding valuable nutrients to your meal.
Whether eggs are boiled, poached, or fried has only a limited impact on their vitamin D content.
However, a small amount of oil is often added when eggs are fried or scrambled, which may help the body absorb the vitamin more efficiently.
The most important advice
Research published in Food Chemistry suggests that baking at high temperatures may slightly reduce the vitamin D content of eggs.

However, according to Verywell Health, it is far more important to focus on your overall diet than on a single cooking method.
A meal that combines eggs with healthy fats can improve the body's absorption of vitamin D.
At the same time, regularly eating foods that are rich in vitamin D is more important than focusing on how any individual meal is prepared.
