Step 1
Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble into bits.
Step 2
Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Spread 1 tbsp tomato jam on each slice.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with 2 tbsp milk and a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined.
Step 4
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom, until soft curds form, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat while still glossy.
Step 5
Pile the scrambled eggs onto the toast, sprinkle with the bacon bits, and tear the 6 basil leaves over the top. Serve immediately.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
