Ingredients
Scale
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup white onion, diced
- Salt (to taste)
- Chopped chives (to taste/garnish)
Instructions
- In a generously sized bowl, crack the 8 eggs and add the 1/2 cup milk along with salt to taste. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
- Place 2 tablespoons of butter into a substantial skillet and heat it over medium flame. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, about 1-2 minutes, introduce the diced onion, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms along with a modest pinch of salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions become translucent.
- After the vegetables have softened, incorporate the 4 slices of cooked bacon into the mixture. Stir for another minute to heat the bacon through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Next, pour the pre-prepared egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and bacon. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still creamy.
- Once the eggs are nearly done, sprinkle the 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top. Allow it to melt for about 1 minute, then remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped chives to add a pop of color and fresh flavor before serving.

Keywords: Don’t rush the cooking process; cooking the eggs on medium-low heat ensures they don’t become rubbery. Use a non-stick skillet for easy cooking and cleanup, and be mindful of the salt as bacon and cheese can add significant saltiness.
