1. Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in
the skillet.
2. Saut¨¦ vegetables: Add the butter to the skillet. Toss in the diced onions and bell pepper (if using), cooking them until soft and translucent, about
5 minutes.
3. Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and
crispy. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Add the eggs: Push the potatoes and vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the open space and
gently scramble them until they¡¯re cooked through, but still soft.
6. Combine: Once the eggs are nearly done, stir them together with the potatoes and vegetables. Sprinkle the bacon and cheese over the top and cook until
the cheese melts.
7. Serve: Garnish with green onions and parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
