Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
- 2
In a non-stick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside, leaving a little rendered fat in the pan.
- 3
Add butter or olive oil to the skillet if needed. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
- 5
Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Continue cooking and folding until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

Stir in the crumbled bacon.

Serve immediately, topped with pickled red onions.
