Scrambled eggs and bacon

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the eggs:

    • Crack the eggs into a bowl.
    • Add the milk (if using) and whisk together until smooth.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
