Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and chop once cool.

  2. Step 2

    Drain all but 1 tbsp bacon fat from the skillet. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour into the skillet, scatter bacon and cheddar over top, don't stir.

  4. Step 4

    Cook over medium until edges begin to set, about 3 minutes. You'll see the top still jiggle slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer skillet to the broiler preheated to high. Broil 2–3 minutes until the top puffs and turns golden.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a cutting board, scatter chives over top, slice in half, and serve immediately.
