Why do Grandma's scrambled eggs always taste better? Although she makes it entirely by memory, I just had to get it down on paper. This delicious scramble has colorful veggies, smoky bacon, creamy, melted cheese and a touch of spice!
Scrambled egg creations tend to run in the family, thanks to Grandma. Her grandson makes these delicious hamburger scrambled eggs and my husband and I created these kimchi scrambled eggs.
You can definitely taste the love in this special breakfast that we are served almost every morning that we stay at the Grandparents' house, along with her electric skillet pancakes.

How to Make Grandma's Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk the eggs. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables and bacon. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and bacon and sauté until the vegetables are softened and bacon is cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the eggs. Stir with a spatula as it cooks. When the eggs are about half cooked, add the cayenne, salt and pepper.
- Cook. Continue cooking and stirring until the eggs are still soft but almost fully cooked. Add the shredded cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
- Serve. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Grandma serves scrambled eggs with pancakes or waffles, a skillet breakfast hash and ham, but you don't have to go big like Grandma.
- These are perfect on their own or on toast.
- Wash it down with some homemade orange Julius or milk.
- If you're looking for condiments that suit this dish, try my green hot sauce or Filipino banana ketchup.
