Crispy garlic chips are made by frying thinly sliced garlic in cold oil over medium heat, then draining on paper towels. The reserved garlic-infused oil becomes the cooking fat for perfectly soft scrambled eggs.

Thinly slice the peeled garlic cloves.
Pour the high-smoke point oil into a cold skillet.
Add the sliced garlic to the cold oil. This helps them cook evenly.
Turn the heat on and constantly stir the garlic as it fries to ensure an even, golden brown color.
Once the garlic chips are golden brown, immediately strain them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt.
Carefully pour the leftover garlic-infused oil into a jar to save for later use.
To make the eggs, crack eggs into a bowl, add salt (and optional water), and whisk.
Heat a tablespoon or two of the reserved garlic-infused oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan.
Gently push and fold the eggs with a spoon or spatula as they cook to create soft curds.
Serve the scrambled eggs topped with ghost pepper flakes and the crispy garlic chips, alongside toast, avocado, and pickled vegetables.

Starting in cold oil ensures the garlic cooks evenly and becomes uniformly golden brown rather than burning on the outside while staying raw inside.
Watch for a golden brown color while stirring constantly. Once they reach that shade, immediately strain them onto paper towels to stop the cooking process and prevent darkening.
Yes. The oil picks up garlic flavor during frying and works well for drizzling on soups, roasted vegetables, bread, or any dish that benefits from garlic flavor.
Choose a high-smoke point oil like avocado, canola, or vegetable oil so it won't burn when frying the garlic at medium heat.
Gently push and fold the eggs with a spoon or spatula as they cook over medium heat, using the garlic-infused oil. Avoid stirring vigorously, which breaks the curds into smaller pieces.
