Redeem now

I'm testing ingredients for the best scrambled eggs, and peanut butter is supposed to add flavor.
All I had to do is add some of the spread to the pan right before the eggs finished cooking.
It wasn't a total fail, but I don't really understand the hype behind the flavor combo.

Luckily the internet is full of tips and tricks, and I decided to start putting them to the test, including adding peanut butter to my eggs.

Here's how it went.

Back in 2017, actor Scott Foley shared an Instagram video of himself putting peanut butter on his scrambled eggs.

I googled "peanut butter scrambled eggs" and found a few recipes that were much more involved than just adding the spread to some already-cooked eggs like Foley did.

But I decided to keep it simple and add about a tablespoon to the pan when my eggs were almost done cooking.

There was no mistaking the taste of peanut butter here.

As far as texture goes, the eggs were soft, smooth, and thoroughly cooked, which is how I like them. But the flavor wasn't my favorite.

They'd probably taste good mixed with some rice or stir fry, but I wouldn't eat them for breakfast.
