It's such a simple hack that makes for a delicious upgrade.
I don’t know about you, but I’m still riding that post-Oscars high. It was a fantastic night where a lot of well-deserving people received their flowers. Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley taking home the Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress was so fun to watch!
Like many awards shows, there were a lot of highs and lows. A high point for me was Elle Fanning’s custom Givenchy by Sarah Burton gown. The bodice was covered in a delicate, wisteria-inspired motif. It was a callback to the flower that bloomed at Elle’s childhood home. “I remember thinking it was the most beautiful thing when the petals would fall and create a lilac cloud on the ground,” she told Vogue about the inspiration for the dress.
Elle Fanning certainly holds fashion in high esteem. But she also has a lot of love for food and specifically baking. When I interviewed her for The Cut back in 2018, a lot of her favorite memories were tied to specific scents, like cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning and the undeniable appeal of almond cake. So when I found out that she has a specific hack for her favorite breakfast, I took note.
What is Elle Fanning’s favorite breakfast?
Elle is someone who has a deep appreciation for condiments. She told People that she loves putting mayonnaise on everything: “I’m always someone at a restaurant that [orders] extra mayo on the side,” she notes. “I eat it with fries. I put it on my burger.” And while she’s a fan of messy burgers (“the saucier, the better”) she also gets down with a very juicy breakfast sandwich.
The salty-sweet flavor combo is her go-to. “My favorite breakfast sandwich is, like, sausage, fried egg, runny cheese and then strawberry jam,” she told People. “I always put strawberry jam on my breakfast sandwiches. It’s very good.”
Salty and sweet together, especially at breakfast, is a match made in heaven. I mean, I have long been a fan of dipping my sausage or bacon in maple syrup, so I can’t believe I never thought about this strawberry jam trick before. But honestly, I shouldn’t be surprised. This is also a big part of Michael B. Jordan’s go-to McDonald’s breakfast order. Maybe the “secret ingredient” to being an Oscar-nominated actor is just eating a bunch of strawberry jam!
