About this Recipe

The bacon bits in this egg scramble are the Real Bacon Bits that are sold in a small container or jar located in the salad dressing section of the grocery store.

They come in different sizes; bits or pieces and also in flavors like applewood smoke or jalapeno.

Purple kale is used in this egg scramble which has a stronger cabbage flavor than the common green curly kale.

Feel free to change up the type of kale used in this recipe to the green curly version or other type you may like.

Notes

TIP:

The most important tip for making this recipe is the same one with all recipes that have eggs in them…never crack an egg over food.
It’s a good idea to crack each egg in a separate bowl first before adding it in with other ingredients (or in with other eggs).
This way, if the egg is bad (i.e. smells off or bad, or is discolored), it can be discarded before contaminating other ingredients.
