How to Make Bauernfruhstuck

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan. Discard the rest.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and sauté 1 medium chopped onion until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes, to the pan. Brown lightly for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk.
  6. Crumble the cooked bacon into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions and potatoes in the pan.
  8. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set and the potatoes are tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bauernfrühstück!
