Breakfast of Champions


The best Friday nights are followed by simple, delicious Saturday morning breakfasts.

I doubt anyone needs instructions on how to cook bacon and eggs, but here's how they happen around here:

Put some bacon in a hot pan to fry:


Meanwhile, prep and cook your eggs. I augment basic scrambled eggs (eggs over easy for the Darling Devoted Husband when I'm feeling generous and skilled, which isn't that often, and wasn't today) with whatever I have on hand. For the DDH, this usually just means cheese:


For me, this usually means cheese (obviously), but also whatever interesting vegetables we have on hand. In the summer, it's tomatoes and jalapenos every day. In the winter, the pickings are slimmer. We had some spinach that I forgot to put in a pot of soup earlier in the week, and some leftover chopped onions from the same soup:



Add a dollop of milk for fluff and mix them all together:







I decided the DDH's eggs needed more cheese on top:



And they cooked into a beautiful, cheesy, scrambled mess:





I put my eggs on, and added some of those onions I found to the bacon, 'cause why not?:



Whenever I attempt to make an omelet, I end up with scrambled eggs, but sometimes, when I try to make scrambled eggs, I end up with an omelet:


Sprinkle some more cheese on top for good measure:



And voila: Eggs and bacon, a breakfast worth waking up for:
