Why do Grandma’s scrambled eggs always taste better? You can definitely taste the love in this special breakfast that we are served almost every morning that we stay at the Grandparents’ house. 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!

Serving Suggestions

Grandma serves scrambled eggs with pancakes or waffles, hash browns 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 orange julius or milk. If you’re looking for condiments that suit this dish, try our green hot sauce or Filipino banana ketchup.
