>What can you put on a fried egg aside from salt and pepper?
literally anything you desire
>What else besides oil, butter, bacon grease is good to fry it in?
You basically listed every cooking fat there is aside from lard, tallow, and duck/chicken fat

I like throwing some finely shredded nori on top of mine. It’s just salty and crispy enough to add some nice flavor/texture

If you were to make the ultimate fried egg, say you were on some cooking show and that was the challenge. What would you make? You have pretty much everything at your disposal. I guess the most important thing would be deciding what kind of fat to cook with, maybe some drippings from some jew meat

My dad fucking loved tobasco. I hated the smell. He'd actually keep a bottle at his side almost all the time and would dab some on the back of his hand and lick it up.

Oh gee I didn't expect that kind of response.

>What can you put on a fried egg aside from salt and pepper?
First of all, it should be cooked in flavorful olive oil, and then it's pretty much completely flavorful with the salt and pepper. Buttered toast under a soft yolk will combine for a nice flavor.

I like a few drops of Cholula, or Tapatio are my favorite hot sauces for eggs. When scrambling an egg, I love a bit of green onion heated in the oil/butter with the egg.

When doing some quick scrambled egg in some leftover rice like the quick morning after leftover rice = fried rice idea, maybe with some carrot, slaw blend in the pan with some ham or w/o, then I like some Super chili crisp. It has a nice garlic crunch and mild heat and helps the rice brown. Makoto dressing can add the soy needed with lots of great fresh ginger.

If you are softly cooking the egg or poaching it, don't forget about blender hollandaise, which is so delicious and easy.

Never really liked Tabasco but the cafeteria at work has a bottle, I've been putting it on my eggs and tots in the morning and it's pretty good

>>18183284
I did

>>18183229
In Nippon, Soysauce is the classic

>>18183229
Spring onions or scallions or whatever theyre called

These are so damn good on eggs or potatoes. They're more strongly flavored than fresh chives, too.. I guess drying them concentrates the flavor.

Turmeric results in a nice color

>>18183229
Truffle, caviar, brown shrimp caught on horseback, Tahaa vanilla, sweetbread, nasturtium flowers and leaves, pea shoots, freshly grated Beaufort cheese. Have you ever considered putting a fried egg on top of a steak, Adam?

>>18183229

Chives are fucking looovely

I know you'll think it's weird but I really like dipping my fried eggs in a bit of syrup. Don't knock it till you try it.

Toast with ajvar and a fried egg on top

I like to sweat some finely diced shallots (onions are fine too), together with some bacon cubes (or dice bacon). Add the egg on top and fry. It's already great like this, but some days I may add a slice of cheese on top, then some water around the egg in the pan and put on the lid. The steam helps melt the cheese.
Then when it's done, add some hot sauce on top of the cheese and eat like that, on bread, or in a sandwich.

also called an American Scotch Egg

>>18183229
I like to put some oregano through the egg

>>18183229
i've heard of some people putting KETCHUP on their eggs, but i've never been brave enough to try it myself

my usual seasoning are a bit of salt and tabasco

>>18183229
Spring onions, soy sauce and roasted sesame seeds

>>18183229
>cut tomatoes into small wedges/cubes
>fry them a bit, then pour the eggs on them
>optionally put cheese on top and close the lid so it would melt
Perfection. Basically any recipe with tomatoes+eggs is a winner.

>>18187039
You can also add onion/bell pepper/bacon/sausage/whatever

>>18186950
Ketchup on fried eggs is fine, best in a sarnie.

>>18186950
back in the late 80's I went to a college with a lot of japanese students. they all put ketchup on scrambled eggs.

>>18183229
Fry it in lard for 100% perfection. Only add salt. Less is more. The most important thing is a perfect yolk.

If you're gonna toss a fried egg on top of rice or noodles, you need a very runny yolk, OR a very crispy fried egg. There is no inbetween.

Grate some cheese of your choice over the egg shortly before pulling it from the pan. I mix it up between parmesan, pepper jack, and gouda depending on what's on sale/available. You don't need much and can go lighter on salt, then. I almost always add a pinch of paprika, too, but that's probably more cosmetic than anything.

If no cheese, I like basic salt+pepper or the meme everything but bagel seasoning. Another good find is some sort of "umami" seasoning blend. Trader Joe's has a mushroom-based umami blend that's actually really good and has a little kick from crushed red pepper.

>>18183235
This

fry it in herb butter

>>18183229
crushed calabrian red hot chili peppers in oil. imagine lao gan ma but it tastes good.

>>18183229
Try frying eggs in salsa. It tastes really good.

>>18183229
literally nothing else, the egg is perfect as is. If I had to chose, i suppose chili flake

>>18183254
Ostrich egg poached in human fat

Old Bay

Cook it in half a stick of butter till edges are crispy then franks red hot on top

>>18188077
shut the fuck up faggot

>>18183229
Salsa. Just like half a can of salsa poured over the top of 3 eggs over easy.

>>18183254
>drippings from some jew meat

My girlfriend recommended red pepper flakes like you'd put on pizza and I've really enjoyed them

Sambal like others have mentioned, too

>>18183229
Only one answer to this: light soy sauce on an over-easy egg

>>18183229
Salsa is really good on eggs, make a batch and try it. As for fats I don't skim the fat from chili whenever I make it, when it's in the fridge I'll scoop it all off the top and put it in a container and use it like butter, I've fried eggs in it before and it turns out great.

What usually works for me is to take a few pounds of ground beef and toss it in a pan until it is simmering. I gingerly remove the beef leaving the greasy liquid and proceed to simmer up some eggs in the beefy juice. I do not flip the egg, I spoon liquid on top in the manner of a sunny side up. Serv with avocado. In the cado pit if it is a special day.

>>18183265
I used to dislike tabasco, then one day it became delicious. Don't know what happened to make things change.

>>18183229
Anyway, any hot sauce goes great on eggs. If you eat them goopy enough then serve them on top of toast and then mash them into it.

>oil
If you use sneed oil then it doesn't add any flavor; if you use olive oil then it tastes like olive oil. Not a good combo imo.

>butter
The best option. Makes the eggs taste buttery and nutty.

>bacon grease
Doesn't actually add that much flavor. Almost indistinguishable from eggs cooked in SNEED.

>>18183428
The heat of the egg cooks the rice.

You need to go back

>>18183389
Whelp it's good bros, it's good.

Will report back with eggiwegs au matin

>>18183229
Bouillon/consommé, shredded cheese, thyme, light rosemary, light vinegar, mustard, etc.

>>18190191
Go where?

>>18183261
I was surprised the first time I saw someone put tabasco on their soft boiled egg but when I tried it I had to admit it actually works.

>>18191083
I know people often meme about tabasco being shit but the vinegar just works on some foods.

Parmigiano-Reggiano. Trigger the Italians.

>>18191066
Back where you can from.

>>18183229

>>18183229
Salsa.

>>18183270
my dad used to put Tabasco on his finger and shove it in my mouth when i was bad. i remember struggling against and being overpowered by a man four times my size and having his thick finger shoved in my mouth. now, im gay

>>18191745
THAT'S KIND OF HOT

>>18183229
I almost always put some hotsauce on them, even have a small bottle at work for the hardboiled egg I bring.

>>18183261
this except the chipotle one, it's a little milder but has better flavor.

>>18189932
die slow

>>18183229
Sometimes I'll throw garlic or onion powder on mine. Dried dill also works pretty well.

>>18183229
lemon pepper
cajun seasoning
curry
nutritional yeast

not necessarily all at the same time

>>18183229
nutmeg is surprisingly good with fried eggs

>>18183229
You could try coconut oil for frying. I don't like it much myself, but I don't really like coconut. Lard is a good choice

>>18190697
Jesus Christ that ham hand would taste ok for a long time stewed to really render the fat down.

>>18187074
Am American. For some reason have always like ketchup on my eggs, no idea why as I wasn't raised to do it or anything. It just tastes nice.

>>18183229
Always had Italian dressing with my eggs growing up in the south.

>>18183229
I like dried herbs like parsley, or a nice blended garlic butter

>>18183229
first of all, the yolk should always be runny
second of all, take two pieces of texas toast, use one to soak up the yolks, use the second as a chaser for the egg whites, then save the depleted yolks for last, by themselves

>>18193035
holy fuck you dress like an actual gay man

>>18183229
Fried in a small amount of butter. A green onion. A bit of very mild Mexican style hot sauce.

>>18194816

>> eggiwegs au matin
Forget their criticism, I need the report.

>>18183229
I usually put on chilli flakes and hot sauce.

>>18195088
Happy to report that I made fried eggs and bacon this morning but I was so hungover and technically "working from home" that I did not capture any photos of the monstrosity.

I will say this in all fairness and gratitude, these spice blends tend to really be worth it at least once you find the one/s you like. It was really really good on the eggs and does contain salt but very little so there's room to add if you need to. I can't wait to use that spice blend on my chicken patties for meal prep (the pepper steak blend I use for beef patties).

It says one of the main ingredients in the Egg blend is paprika, and I was so happy to see it wasn't the dusty powdered shit, it was chunks of dried minced paprika and with the chive and pepper it was such a quality flavour.

9/10 will use with great prejudice
