Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 chopped bacon strips. Cook for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pan.
2. Step 2: Lower heat to medium-low and add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until eggs begin to set but remain creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Step 4: Fold in the cooked bacon pieces and 2 tbsp chopped chives. Continue cooking for 1 minute until eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
5. Step 5: Serve immediately with optional fresh vegetables or toast.
