I am somewhat gross about food. I don’t have crazy-weird eating habits, but I do have food quirks. Right now, I’m PMS-ing really hard and last night I gave into cravings and ate two packets of microwave bacon and I have no regrets. I’m not one of those “just put sriracha/BBQ sauce/ranch dressing on ~~~” people either. I like the way meat tastes without a lot of extras. I like a good-quality Italian dressing and that’s about it. I really have to be in the mood for something spicy. So basically, my food quirks are pretty bland. So, I had no idea that this was a thing, but apparently Scott Foley likes to put peanut butter on his scrambled eggs. Is this gross?
Scott Foley has an, um, interesting breakfast combination he’d like everyone to try.
The Scandal star shook up the food world after he posted a video of himself spreading peanut butter all over his scrambled eggs. His son, Konrad, 2, also appears to be a fan of the unconventional dish. “You want more peanut butter on your eggs?” he says, translating an unintelligible — yet adorable — question from his youngest child with wife, Marika Domińczyk. “It’s a family thing. It’s a protein thing.”
The video quickly racked up 10,000 likes in 30 minutes and now has over 50,000 views. “You guys are insane — insane,” he says in a followup video. “It’s so good. Don’t knock it till you try it. Thanks! Peanut butter eggs. Dig it.”
Please, the original “peanut butter eggs” are the peanut butter-and-chocolate eggs I get at Easter!!! ACCEPT NO IMITATIONS. I’ll admit to being a big fan of the peanut-butter-and-chocolate combo, but peanut butter and scrambled eggs? I won’t try it. I’m not adventurous, I don’t eat eggs that often and just thinking about this combo makes me feel a bit sick. That being said, my mom puts ketchup on her scrambled eggs and everyone always thinks that’s so weird.

I eat ketchup on my scrambled eggs too! It’s really good. Peanut butter is so gross sounding though.
Secret to fluffy scrambled eggs? Tablespoon of mayo.
I put ketchup on scrambled eggs and omelets. I wouldn’t even think of putting peanut butter on eggs. Gross
Ketchup on scrambled eggs is plebian but acceptable 😉
Salsa, retried beans and cilantro on eggs is my fav, but I will also accept peppers and tomato, or spinach and feta. Peanut butter is insane. Go home Foley, you are drunk.
My cousin really likes peanut butter in bacon sandwiches though, but I also blame that on his drunken habits.
This exactly-salsa, black beans and cilantro or spinach with a little Parmesan or feta. Peanut butter is super weird but I kind of get it? Think about the scrambled eggs in peanutty pad Thai noodles. Maybe it’s sorta like that? Just add some fish sauce, tamarind, lime juice and palm sugar and you got some pad Thai eggs. I think the texture is weird for me to get past. The texture of scrambled eggs mixed with something dense and sticky just seem wrong.
Spicy salsa on scrambled eggs! yum yum yum
Skipping the skippy eggs. Not my jam.
Yes! Salsa or tabasco.
I’ve always loved eggs and I adore salsa and/or hot sauce on them. But now I’m in my final weeks of pregnancy with gestational diabetes for half the time and I’ve been getting SO bored of scrambled, boiled and omelettes. I actually might have to try the PB thing because like Kitten’s bf I’ve been known to add a bit of PB and soy sauce to a fried egg and veggies. I might be open to just PB on them in the morning!
Salsa on eggs is the bomb. I hate ketchup.
Yep! I have to have salsa on my eggs…soo good!
Yes! This is the correct way to eat scrambled eggs.
Yesss!
I’m genuinely disgusted.
Yeah, that is a little weird. I can kind of get putting toasted peanuts or raw peanuts on top for a textual difference, but smooth peanut butter on eggs is weird and something that I have never heard of before.
I don’t know if it is weird or not but I refuse to eat anything with mayonnaise in it and I cannot eat any type of sliced bread that has been sitting out in the open for a while. Mayonnaise grosses me out and should be banned from life. I am not sure what the issue is with me and bread but if it is left sitting out for a while it gets kind of dry and crunchy; it makes me want to gag.
I do put hot sauce on a lot of things.
YESSSS I absolutely hate mayonnaise too! It is honestly the most offensive food in the world. Just thinking about it makes me want to barf. I hate basically all condiments though:mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc.
Thank you!!!! I thought I was the only one, even the smell of mayo makes me sick.
My BF puts peanut butter on his veggie stirfry.
Soooooo f*cking gross.
He’s like “it’s like a peanut sauce!”
NAH dude that is NOT peanut sauce, not even close. Peanut sauce is a sauce that can be made with PB, Sriracha and rice vinegar and peanut butter is… just peanut butter.
I hate mushrooms with every fiber of my being and just the mere thought of mushrooms doused in PB makes me wanna Trump all over the place.
Who is this monster you are dating 😉 He must have very redeeming other qualities.
I 100% agree. Mushrooms are horrible and peanut butter is not peanut sauce, peanut buttered mushrooms sound like something you eat on a mean dare. You can tell him an internet stranger says he is very wrong about that culinary choice and he should regret exposing you to such horrors.
You can use peanut butter as a base for a good peanut sauce, so he’s kind of on track but you lose so much extra tastiness if you don’t add any of the other ingredients.
Weird. Also, go ahead and get some real peanut butter, Foley. Just nuts, let’s go.
My food quirk is that I go through intense food phases. Right now all I want to eat is Maruchan Chicken Ramen doused in cayenne pepper.
I can’t wait to try that; I love eggs and peanut butter on their own so I am very curious about how they work together.
My friend and I used to make fried egg and peanut butter sandwiches in high school. We’d add a Kraft single too. Do not knock it until you try it! It sounds good to this day, minus the Kraft single. That sounds disgusting to me now. My husband eats ketchup on his scrambled eggs and taught our kids to do the same. That I don’t agree with. He also eats sausage with grape jelly on toast.
I do weird mixes with my food that my friends and family generally just look at me questionably when something weird ISN’T on my plate. So I might actually try this since it doesn’t sound half bad, I’ll get back to yall after the taste test.
NOPE.
Scrambled eggs never appealed to me. Maybe it’s a texture thing and plus it does not look very appetizing. I have a niece who will not eat scrambled eggs without cheese in it.
I like ketchup and eggs 🍳
I also like salsa on eggs
During one of my pregnancies a coworker told me to do a pb&m
Peanut butter and mustard-sounds gross but it’s not bad
And if there is EVER any type of melted cheese 🧀 it’s going on anything I have available. Chips veggies chocolate I don’t discriminate
My dad and I eat fried egg and PB sandwiches. It’s a family thing. It’s delicious.
I love bacon, egg and pb sandwiches! So delish!
I’ve made peanut butter and fried egg sandwich since I was young. I know it’s weird and I have no idea where I got the idea from, but it’s good to me.
I like burgers with beetroot, pineapple and a fried egg which some of my friends think is weird so I don’t feel I can judge other folks food choices.
That’s just an Australian style burger with the lot, not weird at all!
I would sacrifice a mouthful of scrambled egg to try a smear of PB on it … but not Skippy. Do people still eat PB with all that sugar? Ew!!!!
That ^^^^^^ top photo is the reason why I love Scott Foley since Felicity days… he’s so yummy (to me anyway)… something about his eyes-facial-expression and smile.. sigh. And then again in Grey’s Anatomy, and now sexy-murderous face in Scandal. Yeah. I’d hit that. (I also realize nobody asked).
Anyway I never tried PB and scrambled eggs but since there’s a salty element in PB I can see how it could work.
I mean, people eating Avocados with bread/egg/pizza/nachos/anything salty seemed absolutely crazy to me since in my country we eat it and prepare it as DESSERT.
I had to move to south africa to try it (on nachos and pizza) to appreciate it but couldnt bring myself to try it with eggs… yuck.
So hey, no judgements. Just not for me.
Curious… how do you prepare it as a dessert… a pudding? That’s becoming a thing for gluten-free/paleo eaters in US.
Chocolate avocado pudding.
Avocado brownies sold really well at the last restaurant I worked at because they are vegan and paleo. Same reason I made that damn pudding for friend, it’s ok, but doesn’t beat real chocolate pudding.
@elle – Nothing fancy really, I don’t know recipes, but in my parents house (and in many other households) they used to make it really smooth and add a teaspoon or two of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice, after a meal. It’s like a smooth green mousse. I’m sure other people do it in other ways, but in my country (Mozambique) it is served as a fruity, nice dessert option, never served as savoury or in savoury dishes.
But recently because of the growing number of South African restaurant franchises, it is seen in some pizzas here now. Not very common yet.
Now that I think of it, it might be because we inherited Portuguese (colonized us) and indian (other large part of our population – migrated here too) culinary? I might have to do some research…
Eggs with syrup!!! The syrup from my pancakes would work it’s way over and it didn’t taste bad. Don’t smother the eggs, but a light drizzle is perfect.
I’ve also been told salami, cream cheese, onions, and mustard sandwiches are weird, but I don’t really think so.
I really like a fried egg and peanut butter on an English muffin. Sometimes I’ll do jam instead when I’m really feeling myself. When I was a kid in grade 2, I lived on jam and balogna sandwiches. It’s a wild world out there, and you can’t go wrong being adventurous with food! 🙂 Plus I’m Canadian, we do all sorts of weird things with our food! Don’t get me started about how I’ll do a grilled cheese! LOL!
My friend will put ketchup on his white rice, really gross.
Scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon. Delicious.
Peanut butter is horribly claggy and sticks to the roof of your mouth. But I’m English so what do I know?
