Instructions

0 / 7 steps
  1. 1

    Chop bacon into small pieces. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving some rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Add diced onion to the skillet with bacon fat. Cook over medium-low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring, until onions are slightly caramelized.

  4. 4

    While onions are cooking, whisk eggs with a splash of milk (optional) and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Melt butter in the skillet with the onions. Pour in the egg mixture.

  6. 6

    Gently scramble the eggs until just set. Fold in the crispy bacon pieces.

  7. 7

    Serve warm.
