Instructions

Step 1: In a medium skillet, cook 4 chopped bacon slices over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
Step 2: Whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Step 3: Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet with the bacon fat, swirling to melt, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently with a spatula, until eggs are softly set and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cooked bacon and serve immediately.
