Eggs for one

Well it snowed last night, making it unwelcoming for travel this morning. I woke up grimacing out at the white blanket that covered the world. Ugh. But before I could go too deep into the world of self pity I remembered I had plenty of entertaining and edible things in the apartment. What is a better way to warm up than bacon and eggs?!

Ingredients:
3 pieces of bacon
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp chopped green bell pepper
1 green onion chopped
2 eggs
pinch of salt
pinch of garlic powder
handful of shredded cheese (optional)

Equipment:
1 small skillet
1 small spatula
1 fork (or tongs)
paper towels
knife & cutting board for chopping vegetables

Step One:
Place skillet over medium heat. While it's warming up cut bacon in half to make 6 pieces.
(It's easier to fit into the pan and faster to cook this way)

Step Two:
Once skillet is heated, fry bacon. It usually takes two batches about 1-2 minutes on each side. (If you like it crispy. Cook for less if you like it chewy, about 1 minute per side.) Use tongs to turn.

Step Three:
While bacon is cooking chop the vegetables. You want them big enough to absorb flavor but small enough to scramble with the eggs. About the size of your pinky nail is a good guide to go by.

Step Four:
Once bacon is done, place on paper towels to drain. Dispose of the grease from the skillet but don't wipe it out. Place the skillet back on the stove but turn down to medium low heat.
(Easiest way I've found to get rid of any left over grease is to make a small bowl out of aluminum foil. Place it in the sink and pour in grease. Make sure there are no holes or openings though or you will end up with a mess. Once the grease is cool wrap the bowl up into a ball and through away.)

Step Five:
Place vegetables in skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until onions turn translucent. Make sure to stir them with spatula often. You don't want them to burn. They will turn slightly brown due to the grease and left over bacon crumbs, do not fear this just makes them tastier!

Step Six:
Once the vegetables are ready crack two eggs into the pan. They will cook quickly so make sure you are ready to stir continuously. Add the salt and garlic. Take them off the heat just before they are fully cooked and continue to stir until done. The pan will keep cooking the eggs even when taken off the heat so waiting until they are done over the heat can cause the eggs to become dry. Blech!
(If you have not heard, cracking eggs on the corner of the counter or edge of a bowl is poor form. The egg is more likely to leave shell bits when done so. One firm crack to a flat surface reduces the risk of having to fish out shell pieces. You don't have to get your fingers dirty or find an unpleasant crunch later. Everybody wins! [Everybody being yourself])

Once everything is done to tasty perfection, place on plate and put cheese on top of the eggs if desired. Enjoy breakfast!

(If you want to make this for friends just double everything for two people, triple for three, etc!)
