How to make delicious scrambled eggs that you will never get tired of eating!****

My mother makes the best scrambled eggs. I learned how to make her eggs growing up. I recently had breakfast made by friends and quickly realized that many people out there do not know how to make tasty eggs and eggs are one of the best things you can eat...it says so on the TV - ha ha!

For one serving...b/c eggs don't work as leftovers :)

Ingredients:

1 whole egg
1 egg white
1 slice of uncured bacon*
a bit of chopped orange bell pepper**
a bit of chopped onion
a dash of ground pepper

1. Cut the bacon into slender horizontal strips (do it when it is cold, one slice of bacon warms up quickly in your hands).

2. Cook bacon in skillet.

3. While bacon is cooking whisk egg and egg white together - you know like you are going to scramble an egg. Season with pepper. Set to the side.

4. Remove bacon to a paper towel.

5. Remove all but a thin (thin!) layer of bacon fat from skillet.

6. Add bell pepper and onion to skillet. Saute for a few minutes.

7. Add egg mixture to skillet. Add bacon. Let stand for all of 15 seconds. Then constantly run through with spatula to scramble.***

*I use uncured b/c I read the label! You can find bacon that is not processed with phosphorus!

**I'd go with orange, but you can use any color and/or other veggie you have leftover. I like orange bell pepper because the sweeter pepper goes nicely with salt from the bacon.

***I suggest using low to med low heat. Slow cooked eggs are better.

  1. A new recipe please. And for the record, organic meat tastes different than highly processed meat and not necessasrily in a good way. My organic chicken tastes chickeny.

  2. lol - Mom and Dad complain too. Well Dad did not notice until Mom mentioned the stronger flavor of eggs. Turns out Mom used to not eat eggs when she was a child and they came fresh from the farm.

  3. I want to buy eggs fresh from the farm. Are eggs pasturized? The organic milk that I buy is very, very pasturized.
