Instructions

Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.

  • Cut 1/2 lb smoked bacon into lardons and add to a medium sized skillet over medium high heat and cook until the bacon starts to let out some of its fat, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove bacon to a plate and add the prepared croutons to remaining bacon drippings and continue to cook, stirring and tossing until the croutons are golden brown. Remove croutons to a plate ansd reserve a spoonful of both the bacon and croutons for garnish.
  • Add the egg mixture to the pan. Allow 1-2 minutes for the eggs to start to set, then using a spatula, gently turn the eggs so that large crumbles begin to form. The eggs should be fluffy and light but not runny. Fold in reserved bacon and croutons.
  • Remove pan from heat and garnish with extra reserved croutons and bacon and sprinkle with 1 tsp Hungarian paprika and 3-4 stems finely chopped fresh chives or parsley.
