How to Make Aussie Breakfast Egg Mess

  4. Remove the frypan from the heat and transfer the vegetable and bacon mixture to a bowl.

  6. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft. (about 2-3 minutes)
  7. Stir the vegetable-bacon mixture back into the eggs.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked through to your liking (another 2-3 minutes for fully cooked eggs).
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped tomato and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
