Here's What You'll Need
Just a few ingredients is all you need...
- A few eggs
- Old Bay Seasoning
- and if you want the PRO TIP - shredded cheddar cheese.

Special Equipment
You won't need any special equipment at all, but a high quality non stick pan is the best for making eggs. Personally I like a well seasoned cast iron pan like a Lodge Skillet. I do have a 10" Hexclad non stick skillet that I enjoy.
Right now, Amazon doesn't have any in stock, but this pan would work just as well and is high quality. I've used mine for about 4 years without any breakdown of the non stick surface.

What Do I Need to Know about Old Bay
There are just a few tips that you really need to know about Old Bay Seasoning.
- It's really meant as a seafood seasoning and some people associate it only with seafood and therefore, they may think your eggs taste like crabs.
- Old Bay can be really salty so only add salt once you've tasted the eggs and determined that's what they need.
- Some folks believe Old Bay is a little spicy. Taste your eggs before adding pepper.
- Put the Old Bay container on the table for folks to add more if they want.
Tips and Tricks
- For perfect eggs, you might want to check out this video over on your YouTube channel or you can even microwave these eggs and you can find that here.
- Do NOT add the Old Bay while you are scrambling the eggs because this turns the eggs to an off colored orange that is unappealing.
- For more flavor see the pro tip below.
- Always figure 2 eggs per person when scrambling eggs and then add one more for the pan. So 2 people would be 2 eggs + 2 eggs +1 for the pan = 5 eggs.
- For perfect eggs, remove the eggs from the heat before they are completely finished cooking, have the plates warming in a toaster oven or the warming drawer of the stove and the eggs will finish cooking while sitting on the plate.
PRO TIP: For extra delicious eggs, add some shredded cheddar to the eggs as they finish cooking.
