Ingredients
3 slices bacon
6 eggs
3 tbsp grated parmesan

Instructions
Slice bacon into thin strips. Place in a large frying pan and set over medium heat. Stir occasionally until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs with 2 tbsp (30 mL) Parmesan. Chop onion. Shred basil.
Add onion to bacon fat in pan. Stir often until fragrant, 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Pour in egg mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir often until eggs form soft thick curds, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in bacon and basil. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.

We love Italian carbonara pasta with bacon and Parmesan cheese, so we turned it into an eggy scramble. It's delicious served with sliced tomatoes or wrapped in a tortilla.
Time Saver
Sprinkle grated Parmesan on soups or corn on the cob. Freeze to keep fresh.
