Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives
Directions
Step 1
Chop the bacon slices into small, bite-sized pieces and chop the chives finely.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until completely combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4
Discard most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon for extra flavor. Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds.
Step 6
Using a soft spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet as they begin to set. Continue stirring frequently and cook slowly over low heat to achieve creamy, soft curds.
Step 7
When the eggs are about 80% cooked, stir in the crispy diced bacon. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately plate the scrambled eggs. Garnish with the chopped chives for a fresh and vibrant finish.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy scrambled eggs with diced bacon!
