Ingredients
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Cook chopped bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tbsp of bacon drippings in the pan.
- 2
Add butter to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Let it melt and foam.
- 3
Crack eggs into a bowl. Add half-and-half, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- 4
Pour egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let sit undisturbed for 20 seconds to begin setting on the bottom.
- 5
Using a spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Rotate the pan as needed for even cooking. Continue until eggs are just barely set — they should look soft and slightly wet.
- 6
Remove skillet from heat. Add cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic. Toss gently — residual heat will cook the tomatoes slightly and warm the onion without losing their texture.
- 7
Add spinach and fold it in. The heat will wilt it gently. If spinach doesn't wilt fully, return to low heat for 30 seconds.
- 8
Return crispy bacon to the skillet. Fold everything together gently.
- 9
Divide between plates. Top with fresh chives, parsley, and grated parmesan if using. Serve immediately.
Pro Tips
💡
Cook bacon first and reserve the drippings — they add incredible flavor when you cook the eggs in the same pan.
💡
Add spinach off the heat so it wilts gently and stays bright green instead of turning olive-drab.
💡
For extra creaminess, stir 1 tbsp of cream cheese into the eggs before scrambling.
