Two-Ingredient Twist Turns Scrambled Eggs into a Global Flavor Sensation
Scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple, but a TikTok creator argues there are two extra ingredients that can flip the flavor from ordinary to extraordinary. Run and Eat with Jack—whose real name is Jack—has been compiling a world tour of scrambled egg recipes, from France to Turkey, the USA, Korea, and Greece. In his latest video, he tackles Spain and gives the dish a 9.1 out of 10, placing it just behind France's Croque Monsieur Scramble. The two secret ingredients, he says, are chorizo and manchego cheese. “When you hit one of those pockets of cheese, it’s a taste sensation,” Jack explains. The clip has drawn thousands of views (over 9,429) and hundreds of likes (896).

A World Tour in One Pan
Jack’s quest to discover how tiny ingredient choices can transform a familiar dish has taken him across continents. So far he’s sampled scrambles from France, Turkey, the United States, Korea, and Greece, and in his Spain tasting he finds a smoky, cheesy, and spicy profile that tastes excellent. This is more than a recipe; it's a study in how culture shapes breakfast.
The Two-Ingredient Twist: Chorizo and Manchego
The magic ingredients are chorizo and manchego cheese. Jack notes that when a pocket of cheese melts into the scramble, it becomes a true ‘taste sensation.’ His Spain entry earns a 9.1/10, keeping it in second place behind France’s Croque Monsieur Scramble in his world tour.
How to Make Spain-Style Scrambled Eggs at Home
Start by dicing the chorizo and cooking it in a saucepan until the fat renders and the pieces become crispy. Remove a few pieces to set aside for topping later. Add paprika. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan and, just before they’re fully cooked, stir in the chopped manchego cheese. Toast the bread, divide the egg mixture between the slices, finish with the reserved chorizo pieces, and top with chopped chives.
What Fans Are Saying and What to Try Next
Fans react online with enthusiasm: Jan says, “I mean eggs, sausage and cheese... that can’t be bad!” Molly adds, “Chorizo is the best addition always!” Nina suggests: “If you haven’t done Japan yet you should do mentaiko.” Others chime in with “eggcelent” and ideas like chanterelle mushrooms and chives with Polish smoked sausage.
