About the Recipe
A hearty, protein-rich breakfast featuring softly scrambled eggs cooked in butter, paired with irresistibly crispy bacon. Simple, satisfying, and perfectly carnivore.
Ingredients
3 large eggs (Chicken or Duck)
1 tablespoon butter (grass-fed preferred)
3 slices bacon (sugar-free, uncured preferred)
Salt, to taste (optional)
Preparation
Easy, Step-by-Step Instructions:
Crispy Bacon:
Cook Bacon: Place bacon slices into a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until bacon reaches your desired crispiness (approximately 6-8 minutes).
Cooking Tip: Starting bacon in a cold pan allows fat to render gently for evenly cooked, crispy bacon.
Drain Bacon: Once cooked, transfer bacon onto paper towels to drain excess grease briefly.
Scrambled Eggs:
Whisk Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly.
Cook Eggs: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour eggs into skillet and gently stir continuously with a spatula until softly scrambled (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
Cooking Tip: Low and slow heat is key for fluffy, creamy eggs.
Serve: Arrange scrambled eggs and crispy bacon on your plate and enjoy hot.
Carnivore-Friendly Flavor Boost Options:
Browned Butter: Gently brown the butter before cooking eggs for nutty, richer flavor.
Beef Tallow: Swap butter for beef tallow for added depth.
Bacon Fat: Cook eggs in reserved bacon grease for extra bacon-infused richness.
Smoked Sea Salt: Finish eggs lightly with smoked salt for a subtle smoky taste.
