Made a wonderful omelet this morning. Fried 3 slices of bacon which I set
aside on paper towels then crumbled. Whipped 3 eggs with a fork with 2 Tbs.
milk, dashes of salt & cayenne pepper. Into the hot bacon fat the eggs
went. In the middle I sprinkled the crumbled bacon and grated gruyere
cheese. Cooked until the eggs until just lightly browned on the outside;
folded with a wide spatula and finished cooking. Yummy!

I don't do milk in eggs, anymore. I used to, as that's how mom did it.
But, I eventually discovered with milk, the water renders out making for
wet eggs. If you like your scrambled eggs lightly browned, this is probably
not a problem, as the extended cooking time will cook off the water. But,
for French style scramble, the water just muddles up the mix and spoils the
true flavor of the egg.
As for the cross posting, I'm with you. I've killfiled Dr. Dork and am

Jill,
What? No avocado slices??!!! I darn near brush my teeth with the stuff.
;)
Shirlie you at least top it with a spoonful of parmesan cheese? ...
Tabasco maybe??
I'll try the gruyere cheese next time.
Now about cross-posting vs. multi-topic subjects... ;)

DH made waffles today, the recipe is out of an old Betty Crocker
book. He does a great job; light and fluffy, excellent with black
berry syrup or an over-easy egg...

I'd recommend a shrink but he likes avocado slices in his omelets too.
Maybe you can do brunch!

Cayenne pepper is sufficient, and don't call me Shirley :)

Do you use all the bacon grease? Sounds like a lot. But the above
sounds absolutely fabulous. Will try it on a kaiser bun or 2 or 3 when
the bacon thaws out.

THREE slices? that's hardly a lot of drippings,
really.

Nah, not much at all. When I was a kid, bacon grease was used to cook with and
season with. It was kept in a can on the back of the stove and when ever it
was need, there is was. Handy. As I remember it was awfully good on green beans
, and almost any gravy started with bacon grease. ...I sort of miss those days
when we didn't know the evils of fat... sigh....

Reminds me of how my brother said that Dad used make us "French-fried eggs"
for breakfast because he basted them in the bacon fat. They were tasty!
Pancakes cooked in bacon grease, yum!
And then there was that pork fat, left over from fried pork chops. The best
part of it was dipping a piece of bread in the fat left over in the pan.
I guess moderation is all...

Allow me to gross everybody out.
When I was a kid, I didn't know that Mom had started collecting cooked
fat in a bottle in the fridge. One day I saw this bottle of "ice-tea."
I poured a glass and drank a gulp and mid-swallow, prompty threw up!
Sorry,
Andy

I has a ceramic version of it that I keep in the fridge, it
says Grease on it. Even has a lid.

Well, I guess we all had our moments. When I was a kid I grabbed an open pop
can from the fridge and there was a cigarette butt in it.
As for food, pulled pork sandwiches from leftover roast with a little raspberry
chipotle sauce and some sort of swiss-like cheese without the holes, broiled.
I think the cheese might be Italian. Tuner is usually a dainty eater but she
ate the hard cheese rinds - all of them.

Although I agree about the taste, I fail to see where the expression
"french-fried" has any connection to bacon fat. Butter, maybe...

These examples remind me of something I saw in the movie Three
Weddings and a Funeral. A the beginning, some guy is cooking eggs,
bacon, banannas and other things in the same skillet, using the bacon
grease to cook everything. Is that what is called an English
breakfast?

Sounds yummy. With my omelets I sometimes also like a few teaspoons of
mild green chilis and/or 3-4 small dollops of cream cheese. Wonderful.
