Plain bagel, 2 eggs, 2 slices of American Cheese.

Usually I mix some Kewpee mayo with Franks wing sauce. But I also usually use smoked Gouda or smoked Gruyère... I was out of both, so I grabbed the American slices and skipped condiments. It lacked flavor, however.

What condiments do you add to your breakfast sandwich?

I've sometimes just put on a sprinkle of zaatar, or if I want something sweeter, just a bit of your standard BBQ sauce.

Mayo is often my go-to, so I definitely put that on as a standard, and then one of the above!

Cholula Sauce

This usually goes in the Egg imo.

It's a fantastic base for a lot of my dishes.

I use it as a top run burritos and sandwiches and other things.

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Definitely hot sauce of whatever type we have. I picked up some ghost pepper sauce from a holiday market the other month that is hot but also kind of sweet.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Ghost Pepper Sauce

Sweet

Yeah.. ok. I'll have to take your word on that

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Once you acclimate to hotter sauces you can pick out some of the more soft notes. This one has some smokey aspects and I think some maple in it.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have not had any ghost pepper sauces, but there are a number of other sweet hot sauces, chipotle raspberry, habanero pineapple are two popular ones. I mix chipotle raspberry into cream cheese for a great bagel topper, and pretzel dip.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

I saw some raspberry habanero ice cream on deep clearance, no one bought it, it was from a local creamery and I love spicy things so I got it to try.

Loved it. Definitely a little, strange at first, but very good.

Gichingang or Kimchi are my go-tos

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Chipotle mayo/spread if available. Mayo if not. Also got sauce. Depends what I have in the fridge

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

Always hot sauce.

I skip cheese and just do hot sauce on the egg. Sometimes I mix hot sauce with ketchup. I use white cheddar if I'm doing cheese for other ppls eggs.

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

everyone who's writing anything other than ketchup is sick. SICK!!

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Pffft. Ketchup is for children. Brown sauce is better on a breakfast.

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 0 points 5 days ago

Bleauuugh :-O~~~~~~

The fact that you call it "brown sauce" and still want to eat it tells me everything I need to know about how seriously anyone should take your culinary opinions.

I would infer that you are british as well :-0~~~~~~~

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

what is behind your bagel there? looks kinda like hash browns but....?

I'm a stupid simple man. gimme two slices of square-ish sourdough, a single egg, fried up in butter, butter the sourdough and pop that in the hot pan after the egg for a lovely crust. make a sandwich outta those three things, add kosher salt and coarse ground pepper and I'm good.

[–] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I go one of 2 ways depending on how I'm feeling with an egg n cheese sammy:

  • Sweet: add some sort of jelly, jam, or preserves. Honey or syrup also work, but I prefer grape jam the most
  • Zesty: mix mayo and mustard and add dill. This way essentially the breakfast sauce for McDonald's bagel sandwich that I think they discontinued years ago. Reminiscent of deviled eggs
[–] jabberwock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

I tend to favor the sweet early in the morning. Momofuku makes a real nice chili crunch hot honey that goes well with just eggs & cheese.

If I'm adding sausage to the mix, I'll use maple syrup and skip the hot condiments entirely.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I like to add Valentina hot sauce, and throw in some bacon.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

[–] FlatFootFox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Either a sriracha mayo with a bit of a kick, or HP sauce.

Pesto. Toast the bagel face down in the pan with some olive oil. Fry the egg in the pan next, to your preferred doneness, add salt, slice of cheese. Put pesto on one or both bagel faces, your pref.

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Hot sauce. Rn I have Louisiana brand hot sauce bc it was cheap. I happen to like it. I do the same thing but only one slice of cheese. Also what wing sauce do you buy? I like the Nashville hot. My sister will buy buffalo.

I also like Spyce green habanero hot sauce.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

So specifically buffalo? Franks Nashville hot wing sauce isn't that spicy imo. I haven't really tried any of their other flavors.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

I have never seen any of their other wing sauces. I live in a small town with one grocery store and a Walmart, not much of a selection here.

[–] freshcow@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Mayo + Sriracha

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Just a little brown sauce (I like Stoke's), but generally I feel like the egg yolk is sauce enough.

If I'm not feeling traditional then maybe a splash of Reggae Reggae sauce.

open face egg sandwich on sourdough toast. just eggs, salt, butter, and bread.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

A1 steak sauce, or HP brown sauce when the import section at my supermarket has it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Sausage gravy (the creamy white kind, made with the grease left over from cooking the sausage).

[–] murmelade@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Honestly, for me, less is more. Toasted bagel with eggs scrambled in butter. Maybe a slice of american. Buts that's all you need.

Sometimes simple is best

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

For me it's eggs with either bacon or sausage (cut up, so they're easier to eat in a sandwich), some kind of cheese (lately a havarti with jalapeno), and either just mayo or some bang bang sauce.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I don't like wet sandwiches- spicy sausage patty and egg.

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Picante sauce is my go to. Pairs incredibly well with egg based breakfast foods

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mustard and sauerkraut.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Better cheese, mayo and ghost pepper hot sauce

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Better than smoked Gouda and Gruyère? Any suggestions?

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I meant better than American cheese but I like a strong flavour so my go to asiago and pecorino romano. Absolutely nothing wrong with smoked Gouda and gruyere though.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

As I said in the post, I was out of my normal cheeses so i used what I had.
