Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 4 oz diced bacon and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 2 tbsp bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the reserved 2 tbsp bacon fat to the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently with a silicone spatula until softly set but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives over the eggs and stir gently for 30 seconds until wilted and evenly distributed.
  5. Step 5: Divide the scrambled eggs and bacon between two plates and serve immediately.
