Meet oregano’s sweeter, gentler cousin! Marjoram brings delicate herbal flavor with a hint of sweetness—perfect when you want a little charm without stealing the show.
Sprinkle it into soups, sauces, eggs, and roasted vegetables, or pair it with chicken and pork. It’s especially lovely in tomato dishes and herb butter. Add it near the end of cooking to help preserve its delicate flavor.
Ingredients: Marjoram.
Marjoram Herb Butter: Mix ½ cup softened butter with 1 teaspoon marjoram, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Let stand for 15 minutes, then spread on warm bread or melt over cooked vegetables.
Creamy Marjoram Eggs: Whisk 4 eggs with 1 tablespoon milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble gently in 1 tablespoon butter, stirring in ½ teaspoon marjoram just before the eggs finish cooking.
