Infused Habanero Salt

The smoky undertone comes through right away, and the habanero heat lingers just enough to make plain scrambled eggs taste like something from a fancy brunch spot. A tiny pinch goes a long way, so this little jar should last me months.

The heat builds slowly rather than slapping you upfront, and the smoky undertone really comes through on eggs. A little goes a long way, so this tiny jar will last me months.

I sprinkled a pinch over roasted sweet potatoes and the dried habanero gave them a slow-building warmth without overwhelming the dish. The salt crystals themselves are flaky and dissolve nicely, so you get the heat evenly instead of in random bursts.
