Scrambled Eggs with Bacon

Step 1: Cook bacon in a skillet, turning at least once and draining off the fat into a container for drippings. If you don't use the drippings, just discard the container when full. Please do not pour bacon drippings down a sink drain unless you like paying plumbers' bills.

Step 2: Break eggs into a bowl, being very careful to fish out any bits of shell, and whip with a wire whisk or fork until blended.

Step 3: Pour into lightly greased or nonstick skillet.

Step 4: Add the milk if desired.

Step 5: Cook over medium heat while constantly stirring with a fork, being careful not to let any of the egg stick to the pan.

Step 6: Cut the bacon into small pieces, about ¼".

Step 7: Mix the bacon pieces in with the eggs when the eggs are scrambled enough to be light and fluffy.

Step 8: Sprinkle salt and pepper over eggs.

Step 9: Serve at once.
