Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices whole grain bread
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetarian bacon. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Pour the eggs into the skillet, stirring occasionally with a spatula. Cook slowly until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 5-6 minutes.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preference using a toaster or under a broiler.
Finely chop the fresh chives. Sprinkle them over the scrambled eggs for added flavor.
Serve the scrambled eggs alongside the crispy vegetarian bacon and the toasted bread. Enjoy your vegetarian classic bacon and eggs breakfast!
