🍳 Ingredients (Serves 2)

-
Fresh herbs (chives or parsley, optional, for garnish)
🥘 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
-
Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat.
-
Lay the bacon strips flat in the pan (no need for extra oil, the bacon will release fat).
-
Cook until golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally.
-
Once done, transfer the bacon onto a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
Step 2: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl.
-
Add a splash of milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
-
Heat butter in a clean skillet over low-medium heat.
-
Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds.
-
Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
-
Cook until soft and slightly creamy (avoid overcooking).
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
-
Place the scrambled eggs onto a plate.
-
Add crispy bacon strips on the side.
-
Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
-
Serve hot with toast, hash browns, or a fresh cup of coffee. ☕
