Instructions

0 / 8 steps
  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 5

    Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Stir in the crumbled bacon.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately, topped with pickled red onions.
