Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz (170 g) 6 slices bacon, about, chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, about 1/2 cup / 75g (2.65 oz), thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, about 1/2 cup / 80g (2.82 oz), thinly sliced
  • 2 jalapeños, finely diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • for the Perfect Scramble
  • For less heat, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños before dicing. For an extra fiery kick, leave them in or add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the veggies.
  • Make it cheesy by sprinkling 1/2 cup (480 ml) of shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking. Cover the pan to let it melt before serving.
  • For extra creamy and fluffy eggs, whisk in a tablespoon of heavy cream, milk, or sour cream before pouring them into the skillet.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about one tablespoon of rendered fat in the skillet. 2.
  4. Add the sliced onion, green pepper, and diced jalapeños to the hot fat.
  5. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned. 3.
  6. While the veggies cook, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. 4. Return the crispy bacon to the skillet with the vegetables.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs over the mixture. 5.
  8. Let the eggs set for 20-30 seconds before gently pushing them from the edges toward the center with a spatula.
  9. Continue cooking and folding until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  10. Serve immediately.
