Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, turning occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in the same skillet with about a teaspoon of bacon drippings left, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Step 4
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach in the skillet. Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges to the center, creating soft curds. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Crumble the cooled bacon into pieces and stir it into the eggs along with the cheddar cheese. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melty.
Step 8
Remove from the heat while the eggs are still a little runny as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Step 9
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
