Almost every home cook has their go-to way of making eggs. But it doesn't hurt to explore and find a new favorite. For a bold Greek-style twist, add a dash of Cavender's Greek Seasoning the next time you whip up everyone's breakfast favorite. This $6 all-purpose seasoning comes with a robust blend of 13 ingredients, including salt, black pepper, garlic, parsley, onion powder, and oregano. There are also five unknown spices; some copycat recipes suggest they could be dill weed, marjoram, cinnamon, nutmeg, mint, or thyme. Overall, the seasoning can lend a salty, garlicky, savory, and herby to eggs.

Cavender's Greek Seasoning should work on any type of egg preparation. For the best scrambled eggs, you can add it before whisking the eggs and pouring them into the pan, ensuring the flavor is distributed evenly. For a mean sunny-side-up egg, give it a light sprinkle of the seasoning after you crack it into the pan; you can also sprinkle it over hard-boiled eggs. Alternatively, you can mash the hard-boiled eggs, add a bit of mayonnaise to make them creamy, and finish the mixture with the seasoning blend, like you would for a stellar egg salad sandwich. With Cavender's Greek Seasoning, a little goes a long way, so take care to add it gradually to taste to prevent your eggs from ending up a bit too salty. While you can fix an overly salty dish, it's always better to start small and build it up as you go.

Cavender's Greek Seasoning is already jam-packed with flavors, but you can also add your own touch to give the eggs an extra (and complementary) boost. Consider sprinkling in smoked paprika for added warmth, or add lemon zest to give them a livelier touch, which some Greek seasoning blends include, so it makes complete sense to add it here. 

If you want something more substantial, cheese is a great option. Cottage cheese can give your eggs a protein boost, while Gruyère is perfect if you want an exceptional cheese pull in a scramble or omelet — or add feta cheese for another Greek touch. You can also incorporate gyro meat for a heartier Greek addition; you can even sprinkle some Cavender's Greek Seasoning onto the meat for added complexity.

For a savory sandwich with just the right amount of acidity, pair your seasoned eggs with tomatoes. With a sprinkle of this seasoning, you can transform a basic tomato sandwich, and with eggs in the picture, you've got yourself a dreamy breakfast sandwich. If you want something more unconventional, serve your eggs with kimchi to add heat, tanginess, and texture. You could even cook your eggs in sesame oil to give them a nutty boost, which pairs perfectly with the garlicky Greek seasoning. No matter what you're in the mood for, there are plenty of additions that go great with eggs and Cavender's Greek Seasoning.
