How to Make Grandpa Farrell's Scrambled Eggs

  1. Fry 4 slices of bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
  2. While the bacon cooks, whisk 6 large eggs in a bowl until light and frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. Do not overcook!
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
