Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and potatoes in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon over the top of the scramble. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt.
- Remove the cover and gently stir the cheese and bacon into the scramble.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
