Fluffy Scrambled Eggs and Crispy Bacon are a quick, easy, and tasty dish, perfect for a savory keto breakfast or a Sunday brunch. This simple yet incredibly tasty dish is also a great option for a unique dinner, sure to please both adults and children.
To serve, simply beat the eggs in a bowl with salt, pepper, and two tbsp of heavy cream. Pour the mixture into a hot pan with a knob of butter and let it thicken, stirring constantly, until you get perfectly scrambled eggs, moist and creamy. Separately, brown the bacon strips in a nonstick pan, being careful not to overlap them and turning them halfway through, until they are nice and crispy.
The result will be a rustic and hearty dish, best garnished with a sprig of parsley and enjoyed immediately, accompanied by toasted slices of sandwich or homemade bread. The trick to achieving the best results is choosing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients: always opt for organic, free-range eggs, and buy bacon from your trusted butcher.
If you like, you can complete the dish with a side of grilled tomatoes or pan-fried mushrooms, or create a real full English breakfast by adding baked beans, sausages and hash browns, the typical potato pancakes of Anglo-Saxon cuisine.
