Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly mixed. Melt 1 teaspoon unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until bubbly (about 1 minute).
2. Step 2: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center as they set, creating soft curds (cook for 3-4 minutes until mostly set but still slightly moist).
3. Step 3: While eggs cook, fry 4 bacon slices in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp (about 4-5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
4. Step 4: Immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives over the top. Serve immediately with the crispy bacon alongside.
