I make these fluffy scrambled eggs when family comes for breakfast or when I just want to do something extra special for myself in the morning. My favorite cheese for this recipe is freshly grated white cheddar, but whatever you have in the fridge works! —Kailey Thompson, Palm Bay, Florida

Ingredients

  • 8 bacon strips
  • 12 large eggs, beaten

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove; drain on paper towels and break into 1-inch pieces. Discard drippings.
