Start by preparing the ingredients: chop the onion into small, even pieces, and dice the bacon into bite-sized chunks. If using chives, finely chop them and set aside for garnish.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are well blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
In the same skillet, leave about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease for flavor (if there’s more than that, discard the excess). Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Allow it to melt completely.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 20–30 seconds so they can begin to set at the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the cooked portions from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook the eggs slowly, stirring frequently, for 2–3 minutes until creamy and just set. Avoid overcooking, as they should remain soft and slightly runny.
Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and fold in the cooked bacon pieces. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the bacon is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates to prevent further cooking.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve warm with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
