Scrambled eggs are a breakfast time staple, with everyone having their own preferred method of cooking, texture, and flavour. However, one TikTok creator has argued that there’s two extra ingredients that will completely transform the flavour of your scrambled eggs.
Jack, known as Run and Eat with Jack, has been compiling a list of some of the best scrambled egg recipes from around the world. So far he’s tried scrambles from the likes of France, Turkey, the USA, Korea, and Greece. In a recent video, he tried flavours from Spain.
Jack said: “When you hit one of those pockets of cheese that is a taste sensation.”
So what secret ingredients do you need to take your scrambled eggs to the next level? Chorizo and manchego cheese. Jack said: “Just look at the colour of these eggs.”
Upon trying the eggs, he concluded: “Mm, smoky, cheesy, and spicy. It’s excellent.”
Jack ultimately gave the eggs a 9.1 out of 10 rating, putting the scrambled eggs into second place, just behind France’s entry of Croque Monsieur Scramble.
The video has been viewed over 9,429 times, receiving 896 likes and 14 comments. Jan wrote: “I mean eggs, sausage and cheese… that can’t be bad!” Molly commented: “Chorizo is the best addition always!”
Nina suggested: “If you haven’t done Japan yet you should do mentaiko.”
Another simply said, “Eggcelent,” while another replied, “You should try scrambles with chanterelle mushrooms and chives , you can top with polish smoked sausage too.”
Here is how you can make these Spanish-style scrambled eggs at home.
Ingredients
- Three large eggs
- One large or two small slices of bread
- 45g chorizo
- 30g manchego
- ½ tsp paprika
- Chives, for garnish
Method
Dice the chorizo and put into a saucepan, rendering out the fat until it’s crispy. Once it’s crispy, remove a few pieces and set aside.
Add in the paprika. Whisk up the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the eggs. Pour in the chopped up manchego just before the eggs are done cooking.
Toast your bread, then portion out the eggs. Top with the set aside pieces of chorizo, following with a sprinkling of chives.
