What each ingredient does
- Egg
- The yolk adds richness and helps bind the chopped bacon into a cohesive mixture.
- Bacon
- Rendered fat and browned bits add savory flavor and a crisp texture.
The step that matters
Mix thoroughly with a fork. Even mixing spreads the yolk and the bacon fat through the whole mixture, so each bite has consistent richness and binding rather than pockets of plain yolk or dry bacon.
