Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the bacon in the skillet for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 5
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Melt the unsalted butter in the skillet until it begins to foam.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the eggs to start setting.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds. Continue stirring until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Once the eggs are nearly done, add the crumbled bacon and chopped chives to the skillet. Stir to combine, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the eggs to serving plates. Garnish with a few extra chopped chives, if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy!
