The Bold Seasoning That Transforms Bland Scrambled Eggs, According To Reddit

Simultaneously indulgent, protein-packed, and oh-so-comforting, scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple around the world for good reason. However, even the fluffiest, creamiest scrambled eggs can be a bit boring if they're only seasoned with salt and pepper. Luckily, the mild flavor of this morning classic makes it a blank canvas for personalization, ready to be zhuzhed up a million different ways. One of the quickest and easiest ways to boost bland scrambled eggs is with a shake or two of your favorite store-bought spice blend. If you're looking for some seasoning inspiration, the internet has suggestions. 

According to many Reddit users, one underrated addition to scrambled eggs is Badia Complete seasoning. In a thread on the subreddit r/eggs, various individuals raved over the vibrant flavor of Badia Complete, noting that just a little bit of the savory seasoning blend takes eggs up a notch. Badia Complete seasoning (also known as Sazón Completa) is an all-purpose spice blend consisting of garlic, onion, monosodium glutamate (MSG), herbs, and spices. We already know that umami-packed MSG takes scrambled eggs to the next level, and Badia amps things up even further with a zesty, earthy flavor that transforms boring eggs into a bold new dish.

The primary reason Badia's Complete seasoning pairs so well with scrambled eggs is that it goes with, well, everything. As the name suggests, it's an all-purpose seasoning that can enhance sauces, poultry, seafood, veggies, and more. Badia is rather cagey about the exact components of its complete seasoning (the ingredients list includes, rather vaguely, "herbs" and "spices"), but copycat recipes include cumin, coriander, black pepper, and oregano in addition to the garlic, onion, and MSG. What's clear is that the blend of aromatics, warm spices, and fragrant herbs (plus the umami power of MSG, which is no longer the bad guy) gives scrambled eggs a whole new layer of balanced yet bold flavor.

Badia is a Florida-based company, and its Complete seasoning is available across the United States. In fact, it's one of the best dollar store spices, and has received Reddit praise as a budget-friendly alternative to other big-name spice brands. Beyond bold scrambled eggs, Reddit users noted that Badia pairs wonderfully with hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs. Whether you're sick of boring scrambled eggs or simply looking to spice up your morning meal, this vibrant, budget-friendly seasoning blend is definitely worth a crack.
