Most people will acknowledge that ketchup and French fries are as satisfying as a John Stockton to Karl Malone pick-and-roll. But less appreciated is the hustle ketchup puts in at breakfast.

Ketchup on eggs, especially scrambled? It works. Pour that tomato goodness over hash browns? Well, you’ve got a combo as good as French fries. Even bacon or sausages dipped in ketchup work. Ketchup’s flavor profile is full of sweet, spicy, and umami, complementing breakfast staples, except perhaps for items like waffles, pancakes, or oatmeal. But hey, do you, boo.
