Got chives? We’ve got recipes. Bright green chives are some of our favorite herbs, because they’re easy to grow and add beautiful flavor to recipes. What do chives taste like? They’re like a mild combination of onion and garlic flavor. Chives pair perfectly with scrambled eggs, and go especially well with potatoes (sour cream and chive potato chips, anyone?).

Here’s a list of our top chive recipes to make with this tasty herb! You’ll see them paired with eggs or made into a bright green oil. They’re great for making creamy chive dip, or sprinkling over veggie side dishes. Really, there’s nothing chives can’t do! Let’s get cooking.
