Salting Scrambled eggs - Am I retarded?

[Cat Phuckers]

I love scrambled eggs, especially on a bagel or kaiser roll, but every time I make an egg sandwich, I realize that the salt just disappears upon eating it. Sometimes I try to salt the egg mixture before cooking, and it comes out tasting unsalted, so I usually don't bother. I salt the eggs after making them and putting them on the sandwich, then I take a bite and it tastes completely unsalted. I feel like I have to put a bit of salt on every fucking bite of the sandwich just to taste it (something which I admittedly do, sometimes I also do this in ramen as well). For the record, I could eat fried, poached, and hard or soft boiled eggs easily with very little to no salt, and I can salt scrambled eggs on a plate just fine without overdoing it (although the inside not being salty does annoy me), but when I have scrambled eggs on a sandwich it's like there's never enough unless I salt every bite.

So, here's the prompt:
Is there some kind of general scrambled egg salting strategy I simply don't know, or am I just weird about salting scrambled egg sandwiches?

White people don't season their eggs

I sprinkle in some salt when I'm making them. Like, right after I've poured the beaten eggs into a pan. If you really wanna bump your eggs up a notch though: Chicken bouillon. Chop up a cube of that and let it toast a minute in your pan with some butter. Really makes those eggs insanely flavorful and rich.

I always salt the eggs while beating them before cooking and I have never run into this issue. On the few occasions where I've forgotten to salt them it was immediately noticeable. Maybe try intentionally not salting them to establish a proper baseline.

Fry them in bacon fat or lard.

I usually put tiny cubes of salo into scrambled eggs and they get the salt from there

Salt? On scrambled eggs?

Just use pickle brine.

I heard this once that if you salt the eggs after they are cooked, this helps make them fluffier and more dry.

Not before but after.

It's probably because you're eating it in a sandwich. In that case, a sauce is probably the best solution. Bread can make things a bit bland.

No cookin ass mfer use tallow before dock your social credit score

Salted butter on the bread. Works every time.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Bread absorbs salt. You get around this issue by seasoning your eggs with something that has monosodium glutamate (MSG) in it.

Use Goya Adobo seasoning.

Just put American cheese on them!

Do you butter your bread?
Also, highly recommend, put a very small amount of this umami goodness on your bread; it complements the eggs perfectly and will give you that saltiness you desire:

I would look into how much sodium is in this bread since it seems like an obvious culprit. Modern food products, at least in America, are designed to pack in tons of salt "for flavor" while using food alchemy to not make the sodium content extremely obvious.

Also salt at the very start or the very end doesn't really make any difference, from my experience. You just have to whisk and constantly stir in the pan on a lower heat if you want fluffy eggs. You want air in the eggs.

I personally use seasoned salt. Really enhances the flavor of the egg. Or, put your regular salt AFTER they're scrambled. I have some spices I use for my egg recipe if you wish.

Bit of soy sauce in the beaten egg.

I do butter my bread, and the butteriness is definitely there.

I do.

I have pure MSG. I have used it before, and I don't really like the way it tastes in eggs. I think the only use I found for it so far is to add it to ramen.

I don't have salo, but that sounds amazing. Thank you.

I tried this once, and I didn't like the way it made the eggs taste.

WINRAR!
When I cook eggs with bacon grease, the saltiness is greatly improved from what I can remember. I often my burn eggs when I cook them with bacon grease because the pan gets quite hot when making bacon and I don't let it cool down as much as I should, but this is the closest thing to a solid solution. I tend to only cook eggs with bacon grease when I have just made bacon. This is stupid, because I have a jar full of bacon grease in the back of my fridge. Also, I tend to mix butter and bacon grease when making eggs because I like the buttery flavor and won't do without it. Thanks for this answer. I have a jar of bacon grease in the back of the fridge which I should use for this.
