Ingredients
5 eggs
6 slice bacon slices
1 tablespoon butter
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Chop the bacon slices into small bite-sized pieces.
Chop the fresh chives into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the chopped bacon to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of crispness, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the bacon, then add the chopped chives. Gently stir and scramble the mixture until the eggs are fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160F, about 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte grocer—eggs, bacon, butter, and fresh chives are at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, or Kroger without exception. Cost per serving lands around $1.50 to $1.80 depending on bacon quality, making it genuinely cheap for six people. The stated 22 minutes is honest; you're cooking bacon, scrambling eggs low and slow (the German way), and finishing with chives. This is a zero-fuss breakfast or brunch that doesn't require attention beyond the occasional stir and suits a family perfectly, though it's a same-night dish and won't reheat well.
