💡Tips
1. Adding Organ Meats
To boost the nutrient density of this dish even further, you can add some organ meats. For example, you can mix some finely chopped liver into the ground beef as it cooks.
Liver is incredibly nutrient dense, providing high amounts of vitamin A, B vitamins, and iron. Start with a small amount, like 1-2 ounces, as the flavor can be strong.
Another option would be to use a blend of ground meats that includes organ meats. Trust me – it’s a delicious (and healthy!) combination.
2. Let it Cool
After you’ve finished cooking the scramble, let the dish rest for about 2-3 minutes before serving.
This short resting period allows the flavors to meld together and the temperature to even out throughout the dish.
It also gives the eggs a chance to finish setting, resulting in a better texture. During this time, the cheese will continue to melt slightly, creating that perfect, gooey consistency. Yummy!

FAQ
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Yes, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. The cooking process will be the same, but turkey bacon may cook a bit faster, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
The flavor will be slightly different, but it will still work well in this recipe.
What can I use instead of mozzarella cheese?
If you don’t have mozzarella cheese, you can use other types of cheese that melt well. Cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack are good options.
You can also use a cheese blend if you prefer. The important thing is to choose a cheese that melts easily.
What type of pan should I use?
A large non stick frying pan or a well seasoned cast iron skillet works best for this recipe. These types of pans will prevent the eggs and meat from sticking and make clean up easier.
