Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Hominy (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 4 slices Bacon, chopped
- 6 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 units Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
2. Add the drained and rinsed hominy to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until lightly golden and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the hominy and set it aside with the cooked bacon.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
4. Reduce the heat to low and melt the butter in the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and allow them to cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until soft and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Once the eggs are just about cooked through, fold in the cooked bacon, hominy, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scramble with finely sliced green onions. If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for a spicy kick.
7. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Hominy Bacon and Eggs Scramble!
