Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 plant-based bacon strips
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chives
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.
Chop the onion and bell pepper finely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In another small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.
In a nonstick pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the nonstick pan with the melted butter. Cook over low heat, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny. Remove from heat.
Cook plant-based bacon strips according to package instructions (typically, 3-4 minutes per side in a skillet over medium heat). Once done, chop them into small pieces.
Combine the scrambled eggs with the sautéed vegetables, crispy potatoes, and chopped plant-based bacon in the large skillet. Gently fold the ingredients together.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
