Bauernfruhstuck (farmer’s breakfast)
Bauernfruhstuck is a traditional German one-pan cooked breakfast of bacon, potatoes and scrambled eggs. Enjoy it for brunch, lunch or a simple midweek supper.
Method
In a large frying pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper, then chop into small pieces.
Pour off the bacon fat from the pan, add the butter and fry the onion until soft.
Add the cooked potatoes and fry until lightly browned.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, lightly beat, then add the milk, salt, a good grinding of pepper and the chopped bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are done to your liking.
