Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon chives
Instructions
Begin by preparing the bacon. Place the slices in a cold non-stick skillet, ensuring they do not overlap. Turn the stovetop to medium heat and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
While the bacon is cooking, break the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is well blended and slightly frothy.
In a separate non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle gently, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges for about 1-2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs towards the center of the skillet. Continue to cook the eggs, pushing and folding them, until they are soft and slightly runny, yet mostly set, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat as they will continue to cook in the residual heat. Crumble the cooked bacon and mix it into the scrambled eggs.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately as a delicious breakfast option.
