How do you season your scrambled eggs?

I always thought salt and cracked black pepper was the American standard. Growing up, I would sometimes throw some Tony’s on there to mix it up.

The wife says black pepper doesn’t belong anywhere near eggs and salt only is the way most people do it.

Definitely ad fresh cracked black pepper, even on top of a hard boiled egg.

I have a few SPG bottles, one from Meat Church and another from Suckelbusters.

I also use an emulsifier to blend.

S&P for me.

Is your wife a chef/cook/waitress/someone who would know how most people season their eggs?

Salt and pepper for me for the normal scrambled eggs. Sometimes, sprinkle some chives or green onions on them.

I don't cook scrambled eggs at home so I'm not sure how my wife prepares them, but I always add cracked pepper before eating.

For events, the ratio is for every 1 Quart of eggs, we add 1 Cup of whole milk, and 1 Tablespoon Academy Blend seasoning (salt, granulated garlic, white pepper). Perfectly seasoned and creamy scrambled eggs.

A little salt, a lot of cracked black pepper.

Sometime's Tony's.

I use 3 large eggs, and cook them in salted butter or bacon fat. Most of the time some fresh shredded colby jack, and I add the fresh cracked pepper at the end.

For me, where there is salt, black pepper likely follows, and most definitely on eggs. Also, hot sauce if I’m not having salsa with them.

I throw whatever I've feeling in them. Sometimes as little as just salt.. sometimes salt/garlic powder/umami seasoning/dried chives/parsley. Sometimes just Tony's.

I don't use a ton of black pepper in my cooking (I find it to be inferior to other peppers), but I'm sure I add it to eggs from time to time as well.

Your wife is wrong. S&P are pretty standard for eggs. I cook the eggs a little first, then add the S&P before they are finished. I think it is an Alton Brown thing with the timing and how salt can change how the eggs cook or something.

Black pepper is the only thing I add to my eggs.

I use T-Boy's seasoning. It doesn't have the garlic that Tony's has. As much as I like Tony's on most meats, garlic isn't a flavor that I like on eggs for breakfast.

There are not many savory dishes that I don't season with black pepper. Most stuff gets other seasonings, but just about everything gets black pepper.

Eggs almost always get S&P. Sometimes I add other stuff, but always S&P.

The only exception is when I make French omelets. I don't add black pepper when cooking due to aesthetics. I do, however, add it when I eat it.
