bacon and eggs


i am honing my cheesy eggs recipe. this morning, i first cooked up some high-quality bacon, then drained the excess fat but still left a nice coating in the pan. before putting in the eggs, and off-heat, i threw in a handful of shredded Tillamook cheddar cheese and let that fry up a bit.

then the eggs, with black pepper, cayenne, and hot paprika and stirred. then i repeated these steps until finished (but not overcooked, like so many scrambled eggs in the US):

1. apply heat
2. remove from heat
3. stir

result was good, but i need to fry up the cheese a bit more, and/or use an additional cheese (gruyere?) for more flavor. and maybe a touch of sweet curry to round out the flavor a bit.

Looks nice.

yummy. I often chop up the bacon, once served, so that every bite o'eggs includes some delicious pork as well.

My GF makes the best scrambled eggs - not overcooked like you say. I think she adds a little milk and whips them with a beater.
