Grandpa Farrell's Scrambled Eggs

Submitted by Dienia B.

"From my ex husband's grandfather. Boys, this is where the eggs I cooked came from. He was a cook somewhere and they showed him this method. The eggs are very soft and perfect. Don't overcrowd the cast iron pan with eggs. It's time consuming, but worth it if you don't have too many."

This is the way my mother sometimes made here eggs, both fried or scrambled, but she didn't have a cast iron pan. I made this as written, using a cast iron pan, and love the added flavor that the bacon grease brings to the eggs. I fried the bacon, and while egg was cooking, I toasted an english muffin, added a slice of cheese to it and then topped it with the egg and bacon slices for a great morning sandwich!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe and congrats on your win in the 12 Days of Christmas Surprise Event.

Exactly how I remember having eggs/bacon when I was a youngster. Thanks for bringing such a lovely memory back~ I followed this exactly~ nice with the cast iron pan. Added an english muffin, and this was the best! Thanks for posting!

Just like my ex-mother-in-law used to make! She was a wonderful woman, and a fantastic cook. Thanks for bringing back some spectacular memories.

What wonderful memories returned as I was eating this delicious breakfast this morning, my late father used to make a very similar breakfast but he would add mushrooms and cook them with the bacon and then scramble the eggs and serve with a thick slice of buttery toast - well I didn't do the mushrooms but still enjoyed my breakfast and my memories. Thank you Dienia B, made for Went To Market tag game.
