Instructions
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, allowing it to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to sit undisturbed for a few moments before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft and slightly runny, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.
- Serve the fluffy scrambled eggs alongside the crispy bacon. For added flavor, sprinkle fresh chives or parsley on top as a garnish.
Tips
- For creamier scrambled eggs, add a splash of milk or cream before whisking.
- Experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder or hot sauce, to add a twist to your eggs.
- For a complete meal, pair with toasted bread or avocado slices on the side.
