Creamy Scrambled Eggs With Diced Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Place wire cooling rack in foil-lined shallow pan; spray with cooking spray. Mix first 2 ingredients in shallow dish. Add bacon, 1 slice at a time, turning to evenly coat both sides of each slice. Place on wire rack. Bake 20 min. or until crisp and golden brown.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese spread and eggs with whisk until blended. After bacon has baked 15 min., add egg mixture to medium skillet sprayed with cooking spray; cook on medium heat 4 to 5 min. or until set, stirring occasionally.
• Serve eggs with bacon.

Steps:

• Cook bacon pieces in skillet until crisp.
• Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
• Remove bacon grease from skillet, wash and dry pan and return to heat.
• Scramble eggs and add half and half and mix well.
• Add butter to heated pan and add egg mixture.
• Let the eggs set a bit and then sprinkle bacon over.
• Stir eggs until soft set or until they are done to your liking.
• Note: I sometimes also add small diced cubes of cheese when I add the eggs to the pan. Then proceed with recipe.

Steps:

• Put the potato dice in a small pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the potatoes to the leftover bacon fat, and cook over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are tender and lightly brown. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set it aside while you cook the eggs.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs and cream. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula until they just begin to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• At this point, lower the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir. Don't cheat-in order to make the eggs as creamy as possible, it's important to stir gently and continuously, and take your time. When the eggs begin to thicken, after about 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
• Warm the brioche or toast the bread lightly. Set the potato-mushroom mixture over medium heat, add the bacon, and warm thoroughly. Return the eggs to low heat and cook until they will just barely hold together and resemble a thick, creamy sauce, then spoon them over the brioche or toast. Spoon the potato mixture over or around the eggs and sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together starch with 1 1/2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain. Add half the butter cubes to starch mixture. Add eggs and salt, and whisk, breaking up any cubes of butter that have stuck together, until the eggs are frothy and homogenous. (There will still be solid chunks of butter in the eggs.)
• Set your serving plate near the stovetop. Heat 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling gently until the water evaporates, leaving behind only a few small droplets. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl vigorously until the butter is mostly melted and foamy but not brown, about 10 seconds.
• Immediately add the egg mixture and cook, pushing and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are slightly less cooked than you'd like them, about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on doneness. More vigorous stirring will result in finer, softer curds, while more leisurely stirring will result in larger, fluffier curds. Immediately transfer to the serving plate, and serve.
