🍳🥓 Scrambled Eggs & Bacon Breakfast
🥣 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
For the Bacon
-
6–8 strips bacon
For the Scrambled Eggs
-
6 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk or heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Optional: ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or chives

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Bacon
-
Place bacon in a cold skillet in a single layer.
-
Turn heat to medium.
-
Cook 8–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy.
-
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
-
Carefully remove most of the grease (leave about 1 teaspoon if you want extra flavor for eggs).
2️⃣ Make the Scrambled Eggs (Soft & Fluffy)
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
-
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
-
Pour in eggs.
-
Let sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.
-
Slowly push eggs from edges toward center as they cook.
-
When mostly set but still slightly creamy, remove from heat (they’ll finish cooking from residual heat).
-
Stir in cheese if using.
⏱ Cook time: 4–6 minutes
🔥 Low heat = creamy eggs. High heat = dry eggs.
3️⃣ Toast
-
Toast bread until golden.
-
Butter while warm.
🍽️ To Serve
Plate scrambled eggs with bacon on the side and toast.
Optional: serve with ketchup, hot sauce, or fresh fruit.
