What is your favorite condiment for eggs?

44 comments

1. Hot sauce. Specifically Tabasco or Cholula

2. Usually nothing other than salt or pepper. I’ll splash it with Tabasco if I’m at Waffle House, but nothing at home.

3. Just herbs or spices.

4. Ketchup

5. Pico de gallo

6. Chipotle Tabasco

7. Lao gan ma.

8. I don’t think I’ve ever used condiments for eggs.

9. Tabasco

10. Nothing. I add a few dashes of pepper and a dash of salt prior to cooking, but that’s it. I don’t add anything after cooking.

11. Soy sauce.

12. Cook in butter, add salt and pepper. That’s it.

13. Basil.

    My family’s picky, but if I’m making eggs just for me, I put a dash of garlic, a little parmesan cheese, a bit of milk, salt and pepper, and a little basil. So good.

14. It depends on how the eggs are cooked. Eggs Florentine – hollandaise sauce (obviously). Hard boiled eggs – usually mayo or miracle whip. (I’m not obsessed over which is better.) Poached eggs on toast – just the butter on the toast. Scrambled eggs – I’ll put some Tabasco into the eggs before cooking.

15. I don’t know if it’s really a condiment, but I like to serve my eggs with gravy. Yesterday, I made some red eye gravy for that exact purpose.

16. None. I like just black pepper

17. I don’t use condiments on eggs. Only spices like salt and pepper.

18. It really depends how I cook my eggs. Scrambled will be ketchup. If it’s eggs in a breakfast burrito then hotsauce (cholula or tapatio), if it’s a runny fried egg nothing, hard boiled eggs taco bell firesauce, soft boiled eggs will be cottage cheese, poached will be hollandaise sauce.

19. Cheese is a condiment, right?

20. I know you said ignore salt and pepper, but the amount of black pepper I put on eggs cannot be ignored.

21. Hot sesame oil

22. Yellow bird jalapeño hot sauce and a good shake of bagel seasoning. They also have a bbq ghost pepper sauce if you want something with a little kick.

    I’ll eat a fried egg on toast with that like an open faced sandwich.

23. Please ship me sriracha

24. Maple syrup

25. Mustard.

26. When I make an egg, it’s usually to top a hash of some sort, so the egg itself, specifically the runny yolk, is the condiment.

27. Tabasco by inclination, but my wife is a hot sauce snob so Crystal is usually what I have on hand.

28. Huevos rancheros is the way to go. I make mine with the eggs poached in a black bean and chipotle pepper mix, with hot sauce added (Valentina mentioned earlier is terrific, but I also like Tapatio). Serve it on a corn tortilla, with some queso fresco.

29. Pico or Salsa. That or a shit ton of Hot Sauce. The Army makes you get creative

30. I don’t eat eggs very often but when I do it’s hot sauce and pepper

31. On boiled eggs or an egg sandwich I like various hot sauces, especially the green Tabasco, Cholula or Melindas.

    On plain scrambled or over easy, nothing but salt and pepper and a pile of toast.

32. Old bay seasoning.

    They’ve also come out with this old bay hot sauce that is just incredible.

33. Hot sauce. Usually either Sriracha or Hank’s.

34. Ketchup for scrambled eggs, hollandaise for poached, salt & pepper only for over easy.

35. Salt and pepper

36. Salsa of some kind usually

37. Hollandaise sauce. Lots of it.

38. Hot sauce: usually Tapatio, Cholula, or a ridiculously good smoked red pepper sauce that I initially bought on impulse (Añejo brand).

39. I like scrambled eggs with cheese.

40. Maple, ketchup, sriracha

41. I love ketchup on eggs

42. If you like Sriracha, try the Melinda’s brand. Just as hot, but more flavor than Huy Fong.

43. Green salsa

44. Scrambled = ketchup

    Hard-boiled = none
