Top Healthy Spices to Add to Your Scrambled Eggs

If you eat a healthy diet or count your macronutrients, then scrambled eggs are a typical meal at your house. But eating eggs every day can get really dull. To enhance your scrambled egg flavor palate, you may want to add some healthy spices.  

Spice is a great way to add more nutrients and flavor to your scrambled eggs without adding significant calories. We’ll list the best spices to put in scrambled eggs, as well as recommend some great flavor combinations to liven up your healthy breakfast.

Do You Season Scrambled Eggs Before or After?

But before we can discuss herbs, we need to talk about the best time to season your scrambled eggs while cooking. According to The Huffington Post, Gordon Ramsay recommends that you don’t season your eggs until the end of the cooking process. This keeps flavors fresh and saves the eggs from any discoloration from the spices.
