Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 medium potatoes
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup bell pepper
- 0.5 cup cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes. Place the diced potatoes into a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Slice the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Drain the diced potatoes and add them to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Season the potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Dice the onion and bell pepper. In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly cooked and slightly runny in places.
Add the cooked bacon and potatoes back into the skillet and gently fold into the eggs. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set.
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and let it melt slightly before serving.
Serve the scrambled eggs with bacon and potatoes hot, garnished with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
