How to season eggs
- Season at the end. Finishing salts and shakes go on as the eggs come off the heat, so the texture and colour stay bright.
- Go light. Jalapeño and chicken salts are salty, so skip the table salt.
- For scrambled eggs, a pinch of an all-purpose seasoning like Blanco or White Lightning can go in while they cook.
- Chilli oil and hot sauce go on last, a spoonful or a few drops at a time.
- Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11.
What goes on eggs besides salt and pepper?
Try everything-bagel seasoning on fried eggs and smashed avo, chicken salt on a bacon and egg roll, or crispy chilli oil over a soft fried egg on rice. A smoky ketchup suits a brekky roll. For heat at breakfast, note that Smokes Seasoning Jalapeno Salt is hot (8/11), so start small.
Smoked and barbecued eggs
Eggs cook well on a flat-top or in a cast-iron pan on the grill. For smoked eggs, hard-boil and peel them first, then smoke at low heat for 30 to 45 minutes and finish with a sprinkle of salt or rub.
