Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
- In a skillet, place the 2 slices of bacon over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet for added flavor.
- While the bacon is cooking, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes. Sauté the tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes until they soften and begin to release their juices.
- Next, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes. Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments without stirring, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
- Once the eggs are almost cooked to your liking, fold in the chopped scallions and the cooked bacon pieces. Stir gently to combine and heat through for another minute.
- Remove the skillet from heat and taste the scrambled eggs, adjusting the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately on plates, garnishing with extra scallions if desired. Enjoy your delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scallions, and bacon!
Tips
- Use fresh, room temperature eggs for the creamiest texture
- Don't overcook your eggs - remove them from heat when they're still slightly soft and creamy
- Season your eggs at the beginning of cooking for better flavor absorption
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan for best results
- Keep your heat at medium to prevent burning and ensure even cooking
- Gently fold eggs rather than vigorously stirring to maintain a soft, luxurious texture
- Add bacon and scallions at the last minute to preserve their fresh flavor and crisp texture
