Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp butter
- 3 large eggs, high quality
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt & pepper, each
- 4 tbsp grated cheese, e.g. cheddar or Jarlsberg

Instructions
Chives and Cheese Scrambled Eggs
- You want high quality, large free range eggs. Crack them in a small bowl and whisk vigorously together. Add in a splash of milk, finely chopped fresh chives, salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. Wait with the cheese.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium and melt some butter in (yes, no oil here, the butter helps elevate the taste).Pour in the mixture, wait a few seconds and using a wooden spoon lift and fold the mixture from the bottom. Wait a few seconds more, and then fold again. Continue this until the eggs are almost done (slightly runny in a few places), and then add in the grated cheese. Fold one more time and then they are done!
Oven Baked Bacon
- Pre-heat your oven to 200C (400F) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place all the bacon strips next to each other on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. More or less depending on the kind of bacon, start checking it at 12 minutes.
- If you want to cook double the amount of bacon with the same time spent; just change the oven settings to 220C (430F) and to fan (Norwegian: varmluft). Add parchment paper to another baking sheet and place another batch of uncooked bacon on it. Now you have two baking sheets of bacon, and just pop them in the oven and bake for the same amount of time (15 minutes or so).
