Optimal Diet Scrambled Eggs

Everyone knows how to make scrambled eggs, but combining it with loads of fat is kind of novel. (Some of you may be familiar with the OD recipes, too.) This is now my favorite zero carb egg thing ever. I make it with whole eggs and butter (instead of bacon fat).

Scrambled eggs:
take one chunk of fatty bacon (150 g), cut into cubes and melt on a frying pan until brown. Whisk in 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk and mix quickly so that they combine with the fat. Fry on low heat until the eggs firm up but remain fluffy.

Scrambled eggs can also be made with butter (80g) [about 4 tablespoons, but I make it with 3 and eat two batches at a time], lard (70g) or bacon fat (80g) instead of the fatty bacon. They may also be made with 3 whole eggs or 1 egg and two yolks. The proportions stay substantially the same.

I have been making my fried eggs with bacon fat for a long time now ignoring the nitrates, but this morning I decided to give butter another chance and they were really good!  Scrambled that is, now as for fried I am not sure but I will try it.  I try to imagine life without bacon and I die a little inside.  I will keep making these small changes until something clicks but I have not been able to find A) nitrate free bacon, nor B) pork bellies.  I am sure I could try harder I just haven't.

I am going to buy another cryovac of rib eyes from Sam's tonight. Scheme

They might be  selling nitrate free bacon in a market where you live. More people are concerned these days and more products are surfacing. Check it out. They've even got hot dogs now.

Bacon is  one of the things I miss most from the States/North America.   Unfortunately most of the things here that are truly an art, foodwise, I can't eat.

A country without bacon?  Sounds like Hell to me, is there a strong sulfur smell and worms gnawing at your flesh perhaps a bolder you feel compelled to push up a hill only to have it roll back down when you almost reach the top, vultures pecking at your eyes? O.k. I'm finished.... no, no, wait, have ever been eaten by a large goat look monster only to passed through its body, defecated and re-eaten.  Thats all I have, no I have more but I will stop.

Hey you two, you can always roll your own.

A cold smoker is cheap buy or even make, google it.  Bacon is nothing more than pork belly (called a "fresh side" in the US) that has been smoked.  

In the US cured bacon is brined with nitrates uncured is not.

Bacon is always cured (using the term "cured" the way it is meant to be used, not as above).  Some cures are wet (brining) and others are dry (just sprinkle it on).  And of course smoking is the final curing process.  

I prefer a brine with 75% NaCl  and 25%KCl with just a splash of maple syrup.
