Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use tongs to transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Carefully pour off most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving a thin coating to cook the eggs. (Alternatively, you can discard the grease and melt a small amount of butter or oil in the pan.)
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs.
- Add the heavy whipping cream to the eggs and whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Reheat the skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about a minute, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
- Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Add the crumbled bacon to the skillet.
- Gently fold the cheese and bacon into the eggs, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking. This should take an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve immediately, either directly from the skillet or portioned out onto plates.

Cheddar cheese, bacon and egg breakfast scramble FAQ:
Cooking the bacon takes about 5-7 minutes until crispy. The eggs will take an additional 3-5 minutes to cook after pouring them into the skillet.
A large skillet or frying pan is ideal for cooking the bacon and eggs. Make sure it’s non-stick or well-seasoned to avoid sticking.
Yes, you can substitute heavy whipping cream with milk or a non-dairy alternative, but this may affect the creaminess of the eggs.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
The eggs are done when they are mostly set but still slightly runny. They should hold shape but remain soft and creamy.
Cooking Tips:
- Use high-quality, thick-cut bacon for the best flavor and texture.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to ensure they are well mixed with the cream for a soft and fluffy scramble.
- Cook the bacon first and save a bit of the rendered fat to cook the eggs for extra flavor.
- Keep the heat on medium-low when scrambling the eggs to prevent them from becoming too dry.
- Add the cheddar cheese just before the eggs are fully set for a perfectly melted and creamy texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, but be mindful of the saltiness from the bacon and cheese.
