Bourdain inspired bacon egg scramble

INGREDIENTS

  • 2-3 eggs
  • 5 or so slices of bacon
  • Butter
  • Green Onion (aka scallion)
  • Sour cream

EQUIPMENT

  • Large pan
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Fork
  • Cutting Board
  • Spoon
  • Paper Towel
  • Plates

Recipe

  1. Heat pan on medium-low to medium heat.
  2. As pan warms, slice green onions. Separating whites from greens.
  3. Toss in bacon to cook.
  4. Once bacon is cooked, take out to dry on paper towel lined plate.
  5. Drain out bacon grease into a random safe container, but leave just a bit in the pan for some flavor (you can leave it all but just be ready for a super greasy breakfast if you do)
  6. Toss in a tablespoon of butter to melt into pan (same heat)
  7. Throw in scallion whites until fragrant.
  8. Crack eggs into small mixing bowl and whisk with a fork. (An actual whisk can make your eggs super airy)
  9. Pour in eggs and get to scrambling with the same fork.
    • A figure-eight motion is always good here if you’re not sure. Take some a couple short breaks during this.
  10. As eggs start to come together and pan still hot, take off heat and keep scrambling.
  11. When eggs are getting to point you’d like, drop a spoon of sour cream. This will help stop the eggs from overcooking and add some creaminess.
  12. Stir in bacon.
  13. Plate up and garnish with greens of scallion.
  14. Salt and pepper after cooking the eggs, not during.
