Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add 1 finely chopped Roma tomato and ½ finely chopped white onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
- Add the garlic: Stir in 1 minced clove of garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Prepare the turkey bacon: Remove 9-12 ounces of turkey bacon from the casing and crumble it into the skillet. Sauté for approximately 8 minutes until cooked through, draining excess fat if necessary.
- Scramble the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until well combined. Pour them into the skillet over the turkey bacon and vegetable mixture. Allow the eggs to cook for about 30 seconds without stirring.
- Finish cooking: Gently stir the eggs, continuing to cook until they are just set, taking care not to overcook them.
- Season: Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro before serving hot.
