Sprinkle This Fan-Favorite Trader Joe's Seasoning Onto Scrambled Eggs For 50% More Flavor
Scrambled eggs are a pretty classic breakfast — and not just because they're nutritious. Their rich yet neutral flavor makes them the perfect blank canvas for a plethora of seasonings, whether you prefer your eggs spicy, herby, or garlicky. While plain salt and pepper will do in a pinch, we highly recommend experimenting with seasoning blends to elevate your scrambled eggs. That's where Trader Joe's Aglio Olio Garlicky & Spicy Seasoning Blend comes in handy.
Of the 18 Trader Joe's seasonings we tried and ranked, the store's Aglio Olio blend scored fairly high at No. 4. Inspired by a classic Neapolitan pasta dish of the same name, the blend includes minced garlic, red chili pepper, red bell pepper, sea salt flakes, parsley, and safflower oil. Our writer found the flavor bold and spicy, with red chilis hitting right away, and then evening out with earthy notes of parsley and aromatic garlic on the back end. All in all, it's a super versatile blend, meaning you could put it on just about anything ... but eggs are a common favorite.
Aglio Olio seasoning gives scrambled eggs a unique kick of heat. It tastes like putting red pepper flakes and garlic powder on your eggs, but with a slight Italian flair from the parsley. You could add the blend to beaten eggs before cooking or use it as a topping after they're already cooked. Either way, the vibrant mixture will shine through and delight your taste buds.

Trader Joe's fans swear by Aglio Olio seasoning for several dishes, including pizza, pasta, and soup. But it's a true crowd favorite for eggs — and not just the scrambled variety. "I fry an egg in the chili oil then season it with aglio olio," one Redditor said. Someone on TikTok also shared how they add Aglio Olio seasoning to high-protein egg scrambles with turkey, bell pepper, and onions. And instead of cooking with the blend, one Redditor mentions finishing eggs with a sprinkle of it instead, saying the garlic may taste burnt if cooked too long.
Speaking of garlic, if you're hoping to add more to your eggs without running the risk of burning it, add this one Trader Joe's spread to make them 10 times more flavorful: Garlic Spread Dip. The Middle Eastern-inspired spread is creamy, rich, and boasts strong garlic and lemon flavors. We recommend whisking it into your egg mixture before cooking them, or slathering it on top of cooked eggs with Aglio Olio for a bright, irresistible bite. It's just one of many ingredients to add to scrambled eggs for a spicy kick.
