Egg, Bacon and Cheese Scramble

The incredible, edible egg. It’s quite a lovely ingredient in and of itself, but you can use it to make thousands of other things. You would probably be shocked to know just how many of your favorite things it is (or at least can be) used in. 
Mayonnaise? Eggs. 
Hollondaise sauce? Eggs. 
Cake? Eggs. 
Meatballs? Eggs. 
Things that are breaded and deep fried? Eggs. 
Omelets? Okay… that one is obvious, but you get my point.
The unfertilized offspring of hens all over the world are just one of the millions of food items why I could NEVER be a vegan. (Tangent: Have you ever heard of music eggs? My guess is probably not. The gist of it is that someone in China thought it would be a great idea to play music to the chickens as they developed based on the premise that happy chickens lay better quality eggs. It appears that maybe more farmers should be serenading their chicks with some Adele and Donna Summer. And now back to our regularly scheduled program…) More power to those of your out there that are [vegan], but you’ll never see me at one of your carnivore’s anonymous meetings.
 

 Start by dicing the bacon and then throwing it into a frying pan to crisp up. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain. Depending on how much fat is leftover, you may want to remove some of it because this is what you’ll be cooking your eggs in (you can thank me later). Whisk together your eggs with some milk or cream, salt and pepper and cook in the bacon fat. The key to extra soft and fluffy eggs is not to cook them too quickly and constant stirring. Once they are almost done, sprinkle in some shredded cheese and add the bacon back to the pan. Continue to stir so that everything gets incorporated and the cheese begins to melt. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a little parsley (I only had the dried variety on had, but go for the gold if you have fresh herbs in your kitchen).

This post has been brought to you by leaving work early on a beautiful summer day, Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy (I highly recommend it), and the letter “h.”
