Here's a quick and easy recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Bacon:
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2-3 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Cook the bacon:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place the bacon slices in the pan and cook until crispy, flipping occasionally (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the pan and set it on paper towels to drain excess fat. Set aside.
- Pour out excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for added flavor.
-
Prepare the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Add the milk (if using) and whisk together until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
-
Scramble the eggs:
- In the same pan with a bit of bacon grease (or add butter if preferred), lower the heat to medium-low.
- Pour the eggs into the pan.
- Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center.
- Continue stirring slowly, cooking until the eggs are soft and slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes). For firmer scrambled eggs, cook a bit longer.
-
Serve:
- Chop or crumble the crispy bacon into bite-sized pieces and mix it into the scrambled eggs or serve it on the side.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Optional Sides:
- Toast or bread
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh tomatoes
Enjoy your delicious scrambled eggs with bacon!
