Ingredients for Traditional Morning Feast
The star of this recipe is the eggs, providing a rich, creamy texture when scrambled with whole milk. The addition of salt and freshly ground black pepper enhances their flavor. Our crispy bacon offers a savory crunch, while whole-grain bread adds a wholesome, nutty base. Melted unsalted butter ensures the eggs cook smoothly without sticking. Fresh cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves bring a burst of color and nutrients, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese provides a creamy finish.
Traditional Morning Feast Tips & Tricks

Traditional Morning Feast Recipe Walkthrough
Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Lay the bacon slices in the skillet, letting them sizzle until they're perfectly crispy, which should take around 6 minutes. While the bacon cooks, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until they're well combined and a bit frothy.
In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in your egg mixture, letting it sit for just a moment before gently stirring. This technique helps create soft, fluffy curds. Keep stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes until the eggs are just set.
While the eggs are cooking, pop the bread into a toaster. Aim for a golden brown color that gives a satisfying crunch when bitten into. Once everything's ready, arrange the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and toast slices on a plate.
Finish by garnishing with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves for a pop of freshness. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot eggs, allowing it to melt slightly.
