This was a nice dinner for me. I used pastrami instead of bacon and didn't use onions. It was fine and fulfilling. I liked it and I would do it again.

This made a really tasty light supper. I also used fresh mushrooms (don't like those rubbery canned ones). Made for Best of 2012 Game.

This was a real treat for lunch today. I used fresh mushrooms which I sauteed in the bacon grease along with the onions. I also added about an 1/8 cup of milk to make it a little fluffier. Instead of scramble I made an omelet. Made for I recommend Tag Game.

What a wonderfully filling breakfast this was. As the bacon I used was very lean I added a teaspoon of butter to fry of sliced fresh button portabello mushrooms along with a small shallot finely sliced before adding the cooked bacon and egg mix and served with a sliced of buttered wholemeal/wholegrain toast. Thank you Chocolat!, made for 123 Hits.

I made this for breakfast this morning. I made it as written except I used fresh mushrooms as I don't buy canned. Super tasting eggs! Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
