Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 teaspoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the bacon slices in a large, cold skillet in a single layer. Turn the heat to medium and cook, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Leave about a tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor, or discard if preferred.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk briskly until well combined and slightly frothy.
In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter (or use reserved bacon grease if preferred). Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet to create soft curds. Cook slowly and stir frequently until the eggs are just set and creamy (about 5-7 minutes). Avoid overcooking.
Remove the scrambled eggs from heat and plate them alongside the crispy bacon.
Optional: Garnish the eggs with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve hot with toast or fresh fruit, if desired, and enjoy!
