Hot sauce is a popular condiment used for centuries to add flavor and heat to dishes. Made from various chilli peppers, hot sauce can range in flavor from mild to extremely spicy. While some people may think of hot sauce as being limited to just Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, it can add flavor to various dishes.

Here are some of my favorite foods to pair with hot sauce.

Eggs are a breakfast staple that can be prepared in countless ways. Hot sauce can add flavor if you prefer scrambled, fried, or boiled eggs. Hot sauce pairs particularly well with eggs because the balance of its tangy and spicy flavors out the richness of the egg yolk. Try drizzling hot sauce over your scrambled eggs or dipping your boiled egg into a hot sauce for a delicious breakfast treat.
