Whenever you order scrambled eggs at a restaurant, they’re fluffy and delicious, but when you try to make them at home, they always taste sort of meh.  

That’s because you haven’t been using one key ingredient—which is quite possibly already on your breakfast plate. For the ultimate weekend treat, it’s time to embrace bacon grease. Here, how to cook eggs in bacon grease...

What You Need:

  • Eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Milk
  • A few strips of bacon.

Step 1 Beat: 

Whisk three eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a drop of milk.

Step 2 Cook:

Fry three or four strips of bacon until crispy and set aside.
