1
Prepare Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices in a single layer.
2
Cook Bacon
Cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

3
Prepare Eggs
In the same skillet, drain excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
4
Scramble Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
5
Cook Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue cooking until the eggs are softly set, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold it in until melted and combined.

7
Serve the Dish
Crumble the cooked bacon and mix it into the eggs, or serve it on the side. Garnish with chopped chives and hot sauce if desired.
