I thought this was a terrific recipe. I really enjoyed the eggs prepared this way. I have never cooked bacon in butter before, it tasted deliicous and crispy. The addition of the sour cream in the scrambled eggs, made them rich and creamy. I also enjoyed the greek feta and the fresh ground pepper, they made the dish sing. Made exactly as written but used sweet vidalia onion, didn't have any green onions left, they worked well in this recipe. Thanks for sharing. Made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

I love feta cheese, so that is why I picked this recipe. This was very easy to make. The eggs are very tender, so it was a little harder to make this omelet style. Thanks for the recipe. Made for Peppercorns ~ Black Pepper Recipe Tag

Made this as a quick breakfast for my hubby for his bday this morning before he left for work. He didn't have time, so I wrapped it in a flour tortilla to make a breakfast burrito, and it worked perfectly like this. Threw some garlic salt in with the pepper too, yum! Definitely not your healthiest breakfast as the eggs are cooked in the bacon grease, but delicious nonetheless!

Great breakfast this morning for the DM and I, we shared and with a slice of toasted wholemeal/wholegrain bread it was enough to satisfy us, though for dietary reasons at the moment I had to omit the bacon but just loved the slight saltiness of feta and the taste of the spring onions with the creaminess of the eggs. I did make it more omelette style though. Thanks Jan, made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #40 May 2010.

A lovely combination. I used Canadian bacon rather than regular, because I had some open; it worked beautifully. The sour cream kept the eggs utterly smooth and rich. I'll be making this again.
