Spice Up Your Everyday Eggs With A Pinch Of Bouillon Powder
By Ashlyn Frassinelli
One easy and cheap way to pack extra umami flavor and kick up your egg seasoning game into your next scramble is to sprinkle in some bouillon powder.
A small pinch should be enough to season a single serving of eggs or even an omelet. Don't add salt and pepper until after tasting the eggs to avoid over-seasoning them.
Chicken bouillon is perfect for mixing into eggs, as these two flavors pair well together. Simply whisk the bouillon into your scrambled eggs before adding them to the hot pan.
Bouillon translates to "broth" in French, but it also refers to a dehydrated, powdered broth that's typically mixed with water and reconstituted to create an instant broth base.
When used sparingly, it can serve as a seasoning due to its sodium content and deep, concentrated flavor. It also commonly contains MSG, creating that intense umami flavor.
