Ingredients
Scale
For the Scrambled Eggs:
- 4 large fresh eggs
- 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil for a lighter option)
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bacon:
- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
For the Toast:
- 2–4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- Butter for spreading (optional)
Optional Add-ons and Garnishes:
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, or feta)
- 1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped
- Avocado slices or fresh fruit on the side
Instructions
1. Prepare the Bacon:
- Preheat a skillet or oven (400°F) for bacon.
- For skillet method: Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- For oven method: Lay bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet with a rack. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
2. Make the Scrambled Eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk or cream if desired, and whisk until fully combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Melt the butter, ensuring it coats the pan evenly.
- Pour in the eggs and let them sit for 10–15 seconds without stirring.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the eggs, moving them across the pan. Continue until soft curds form and the eggs are cooked but still creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat just before they are fully set, as residual heat will finish the cooking.
3. Toast the Bread:
- Toast bread slices in a toaster or on a stovetop grill.
- For stovetop grilling, brush lightly with butter for a golden-brown crust.
- Spread butter or your favorite spread on the toast once done.
4. Assemble and Serve:
- Plate the scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast side by side.
- Add optional garnishes like chopped herbs or grated cheese.
- Serve with fresh fruit, avocado, or a beverage of your choice, such as coffee or juice.
Notes
- For fluffier eggs, whisk them thoroughly to incorporate air and cook over low heat.
- Add cheese or herbs at the end of cooking for enhanced flavor.
- To reduce grease, drain bacon on paper towels and pat dry before serving.
