Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams plant-based bacon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together until thoroughly blended.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the plant-based bacon slices to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds until they are almost fully cooked. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be sure not to overcook them; they should be slightly runny as they will continue to cook a little with retained heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat, fold in the chives, and let the eggs finish cooking with the residual heat of the pan.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, alongside the crispy plant-based bacon slices. Enjoy your vegetarian breakfast!
