  6. Crumble the cooked bacon into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions and potatoes in the pan.

  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bauernfrühstück!

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.
