These easy scrambled eggs are finished with crumbled bacon and optional sliced green onion tops.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 strips bacon
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion tops, optional

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp; remove the bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble the bacon and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  3. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat until hot; pour in egg mixture. Reduce heat. As the egg mixture begins to set on bottom and sides of the skillet, lift and fold over with a spatula. Cook until eggs are almost set; fold in the bacon and green onion, if using. Heat through and serve immediately.
