Instructions
- Step 1: In a non-stick skillet, cook 6 slices bacon over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces.

- Step 3: Stir in crumbled bacon and 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then cook for 1 minute to warm through.
- Step 4: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately while eggs are fluffy.
