Michael Hogan
The scrambled eggs were amazing! Instead of butter to cook the onions we use bacon grease. This gave it a spin!

What a great recipe to give a father on Fathers Day in 2010.

I fried some bacon and used some of the drippings to sub out the butter. These things taste just like a bacon/onion quiche! Obviously, bacon doesn’t get eaten every day, but the next time it does, these eggs are being made again!
Matthew Johnson
