Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook 2 strips of smoked bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives in a bowl until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir with a silicone spatula for 3-4 minutes until softly set but still moist, avoiding overcooking.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the eggs and fold gently to distribute. Serve immediately while hot.
