Scrambled eggs and bacon is a classic breakfast dish. The fluffy eggs combined with crispy bacon create a tasty and satisfying meal to start your day.
I like to make sure my bacon gets extra crispy—sometimes I even snack on a piece while cooking! It’s a simple combo that always makes me smile.
If you want, add a little shredded cheese or veggies to your eggs for extra flavor and color. It’s easy and quick to make perfect every time!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Fresh eggs create fluffy, tender scrambled eggs. I find using large eggs easier to work with. If out of eggs, you could use egg whites or an egg substitute for a lighter option.
Bacon: Crispy bacon adds smoky flavor and crunch. For less fat, try turkey bacon or veggie bacon—both work well and offer different tastes.
Butter or Oil: A little butter or oil helps prevent sticking and adds richness. I prefer butter for flavor, but olive oil works for a healthier twist.
How do I scramble eggs smoothly without overcooking?
Use low heat and gentle stirring. Constantly move eggs with a spatula, scraping from edges to center. Remove from heat when slightly runny—the residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly.
- Start with medium-low heat; high heat makes eggs dry quickly.
- Stir continuously, scraping the pan’s bottom.
- Take eggs off heat just before they look done; they’ll set as they cool slightly.
