BACON CILANTRO SCRAMBLED EGGS

Scrambled eggs are usually easy to whip up in a few minutes and the best part is that you can add whatever ingredients your heart fancies! A few classic styles for cooking scrambled eggs include, American style where the eggs are scooped in towards the middle of the pan as they set, giving larger curds.  In India the Egg bhurji is the variant of scrambled eggs. Additions include onions, green chili, chopped ginger, turmeric powder and chopped tomatoes. Sprinkled with chopped green coriander and eaten with roti. The English style of scrambling eggs is where the scrambled eggs are stirred very thoroughly during cooking to give a soft, fine texture. Lately I have been obsessed with bacon I have put it in my very delicious Guacamole and also made its way to my delectable Potato Salad and I see the trend continuing for a very, very long time!
