Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day, especially on the weekend when I can spend a little more time preparing a lavish meal. This scramble is so simple and fast that I’m just as likely to make it on a school day to make sure my girls have a healthy balanced meal before a demanding day of studying. I don’t eat bacon too often but when I do I choose carefully, preferring organic bacon raised in the USA on a trusted farm and I choose a cut that is low in fat with lots of meat.

Notes
Scrambled eggs are best when cooked very slowly. The traditional french method is to cook them using the double boiler method to ensure the egg remains moist when fully cooked. Cook these eggs over very low heat for a scrumptious breakfast.
This delicious dish was the inspiration for one of the most popular recipes in my “Simply Scrumptious Quiches and Salads” cookbook available on Kindle.
Omg, the bacon arugula scramble looks great.
I hope you enjoy it Pahmansi! It’s a favorite in our home 🙂
This looks like it will be a great and delicious breakfast that is continental, and not too spicy.
It’s a fabulous breakfast Jerry! Enjoy!
