What Goes Well with Scrambled Eggs? 15 Tasty Sides

Wondering what to eat with scrambled eggs to complete your breakfast? I have you covered with 15 mouthwatering side dish ideas, from avocado toast to kimchi to fresh fruit salads, that will take your scrambled eggs to the next level.

Eggs are a favorite in my house and we like to make them in all different kinds of ways with lots of different sides, but scrambled eggs are my favorite! The sides below offer a little bit of everything.

Whether you’re looking for something sweet, indulgent, fast and easy, or something to make on a slow Saturday morning, you’ll find something in this list!

1. Avocado Toast 

Smash or slice up some ripe avocado on a piece of toasted bread, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. The creamy avocado complements the eggs beautifully and gives you some healthy fat first thing in the morning to keep you full and satisfied. (You can also try my baked egg and avocado if you like this combo!)

2. Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are super easy, filling, and a great addition to your egg breakfast. Quickly whip up some scrambled eggs for an egg sandwich and enjoy a sweet side of overnight oats to complete the meal.

3. Hash Browns and Bacon or Sausage

The ultimate comfort food breakfast has to include hash browns and breakfast meats like crispy bacon or sausage links or patties! You can opt for turkey bacon or veggie sausages if you want to go a healthier route, but these sides are classic pairings for eggs. You can also try a tasty bacon hash brown casserole!

4. Cinnamon Rolls

You can’t go wrong with cinnamon rolls as a side for any egg dishes. They’re a widely loved breakfast food, especially topped with cream cheese frosting! If you like something sweet with your eggs, this is a great pick, and they are easier than you think to make.

5. Fried Apples

Speaking of a sweet side, this one tastes like apple pie but it’s healthy enough to enjoy for breakfast! Fried apples are a sweet alternative to dessert for breakfast.

The apples are soft and delicious with a syrupy cinnamon sauce over top, they are always a hit when I treat my family to them! 

6. Greek Yogurt and Honey

Creamy Greek yogurt drizzled with honey is a great contrast to the richness of eggs. It’s also extremely easy, so you’ll be spending less time in the kitchen in the morning. You can even prep this the night before. 

7. Cheesy Grits

Grits are a Southern classic, and when they’re loaded with cheddar cheese like the base for our shrimp and grits they make an indulgent and satisfying side for your eggs.

If you don’t want to add cheese, you can add salt and butter or make your grits sweet with a little sugar sprinkled on top.

8. Bagels or English Muffins

Make a healthy breakfast sandwich with a bagel or English muffins! Breakfast sandwiches are great with eggs prepared in any way, but my favorite is a fried egg or sunny-side-up eggs!

9. Smoked Salmon

Elevate your breakfast to a gourmet level with a side of smoked salmon. This fancier side has a great smoky flavor that complements eggs wonderfully.

This is a great and easy side dish for eggs if you’re entertaining. Try it on a smoked salmon bagel for an even more hearty side, or you can try smoked salmon dip as an alternative with toast.

10. Fried Green Tomatoes

Sliced green tomatoes, lightly fried in olive oil, become tender and sweet, making them a fantastic side for eggs and a tradition here in the South.

Fried tomatoes make a great side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, (I love mine on top of a salad with candied bacon!) but we love having them for breakfast. You can even make a nice creamy remoulade sauce to pour over the tomatoes and eggs.

11. French Toast Sticks

Thick slices of bread soaked in a sweet, cinnamon-infused batter and fried to golden perfection are a breakfast classic that pairs wonderfully with eggs. I love coffee creamer French toast sticks served with eggs made in all different ways! This one is probably my kids’ favorite breakfast side!

12. Pancakes

Fluffy pancakes are the perfect contrast to the savory flavor of your eggs. Top them with a dollop of butter and syrup for a perfect sweet and savory combo.

13. Sweet Potato Hash

I love sweet potato hash! Diced sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onions sautéed to caramelized perfection make a great side for your eggs. Plus they’re nice and filling and full of vitamins to start your day.

14. Corned Beef Hash

Corned beef is chopped and sautéed with potatoes in this classic Southern breakfast side dish. You can buy it pre-made in a can or make corned beef hash with canned corned beef as well. This is agreat way to use up leftover corned beef from our viral corned beef and cabbage recipe!

15. Banana Bread

A slice of homemade banana bread, warm from the oven and slathered with butter, is a sweet treat that perfectly complements your morning eggs and puts a smile on everyone’s faces!

16. Kimchi

For a spicy kick, try a side of kimchi with your egg breakfast or lunch. This has been my go-to lately for the extra flavor and gut-friendly fermentation!

17. Fruit Salad

Try a fresh fruit salad or this creamy fruit salad to add some fresh and sweet flavor to your breakfast. Chop whatever fruit you have on hand and eat plain or with a light dressing. In the summer I like to also make my watermelon salad as well as a side for any meal.

You can also try fun variations like walnut banana bread, strawberry banana bread, or even chocolate chip banana bread!
