Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 1 teaspoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the bacon slices in a large, cold skillet in a single layer. Turn the heat to medium and cook, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 2

Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Leave about a tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor, or discard if preferred.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk briskly until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

In the same skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter (or use reserved bacon grease if preferred). Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet to create soft curds. Cook slowly and stir frequently until the eggs are just set and creamy (about 5-7 minutes). Avoid overcooking.

Step 6

Remove the scrambled eggs from heat and plate them alongside the crispy bacon.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish the eggs with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Step 8

Serve hot with toast or fresh fruit, if desired, and enjoy!
