The best hot sauces to go with your breakfast
When people ask if we put hot sauce on everything, the answer is basically just “yes”. Even at breakfast, indeed. That gets us some funny looks, but as far as we’re concerned, it can be a perfect addition to start your day. Especially since there’s a suitable sauce for every breakfast dish.
Hot sauce & breakfast
Let’s make it clear right away that we don’t use some crazy hot sauce at breakfast. We’re not that mental. Usually we grab a mild to medium hot sauce, where the flavour really needs to pair well with breakfast. A little kick is definitely allowed though. Wakes you right up! You can skip that coffee.
Spicy eggs
The possibilities for combining eggs & hot sauce are endless. Obviously it depends a bit on how you prefer your eggs, but actually almost any type of hot sauce works here, though we’d skip the fruity ones. We especially love the savoury flavours and a nice bit of acidity with eggs. Particularly when it’s a slightly fattier fried egg. A personal favorite: Raijmakers Heetmakers Tranquilizer, with habanero, sweet potato, smoked paprika, onion, a healthy dose of garlic and some vinegar for that tang.
In your yoghurt
Where we’d skip the fruity sauces with eggs, they naturally pair really well with your bowl of yoghurt with fresh fruit and muesli/granola. Already adding some honey to your yoghurt anyway? Then you can just replace that with a hot honey. Those are usually pretty mild and add an extra bit of fruitiness through the addition of Habanero, for example. Plus a little kick of course! Our own Heatsupply’s Hot Honey always goes straight into my portion of yoghurt in the morning.
Pancakes & waffles
Pretty much all of the above applies to pancakes and waffles too. Sweet & fruity is the way to go, but if you really want to take it to the next level, our tip is: add some smoky flavors. La Pimenterie Chipotle Infused Maple Syrup or the Raijmakers Heetmakers Smoked Habanero Hot Honey are absolutely insane with pancakes or waffles in the morning. Bit of fresh fruit on the side. Chef’s kiss!
Breakfast tacos!
Here in the Netherlands, tacos aren’t quickly on the menu in the morning, but that should change asap. A tortilla with egg, avocado, onion, shredded cheese, coriander, perhaps a chilli and some hot sauce, that sounds like the perfect start to the day, right? Takes a few minutes longer to make, but the pay off is wild. We love a fresh green hot sauce with this and Queen Majesty Jalapeno, Tequila & Lime is therefore an excellent choice!
And this is just the tip of the spicy breakfast iceberg. Like we said: there’s a spicy sauce to think of for every breakfast, so let your creativity run wild and start the day better than ever.
