Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil - adds richness and aids in sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 Roma tomato finely chopped - contributes freshness and acidity to balance the dish.
  • ½ white onion finely chopped - provides sweetness and depth to the flavor.
  • 1 clove garlic minced - enhances the aromatic profile of the dish.
  • 9-12 ounces turkey bacon or chicken - serves as the key protein, adding a savory and spicy element.
  • 6 large eggs - the main component of the dish bringing creaminess and body.
  • Kosher salt to taste - enhances the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste - adds a kick of heat and depth of flavor.
For serving, you will need:
  • Queso fresco or cotija cheese - offers a creamy and slightly tangy finish.
  • Chopped cilantro - adds a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the garlic: Stir in 1 minced clove of garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Finish cooking: Gently stir the eggs, continuing to cook until they are just set, taking care not to overcook them.
  7. Season: Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro before serving hot.
