Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low sodium bacon
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the low sodium bacon slices in a cold non-stick skillet in a single layer. Start cooking the bacon over medium heat.
Cook the bacon for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Use tongs to transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
In a separate non-stick skillet or frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, stirring gently with a spatula. Allow the eggs to cook for a few moments before stirring again.
Continue to cook the eggs gently, stirring every now and then to achieve a soft, creamy texture, for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are just set.
Sprinkle the cooked eggs with freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
Plate the scrambled eggs alongside the crispy bacon. If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh chives for a hint of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium breakfast.
