Gluten Free Breakfast of Champions: Trillionaire’s Bacon and Oh-So-Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Welcome to our take on bacon and eggs with our gluten free breakfast for champions: trillionaire’s bacon and our VERY fluffy scrambled eggs.

At Celiac Kitchen, we aren't the biggest breakfast fans so when we do it, we do it big :) The star of this breakfast is the bacon. We were inspired by the brown sugar recipes found in a lot of billionaire’s-style bacon (with a ton of respect to Snoop Dogg's technique) but we added our own flare by using our favorite seasonings and placing bacon in a cold cast iron skillet to help ensure even cooking. As for our scrambled eggs, we whisked in some milk for added fluff - a great tip for the home cook :)

The title "Trillionaire’s Bacon" is a play on Snoop Dogg’s billionaire’s bacon… which is a play on millionaire’s (or million dollar) bacon… and all of it closely resembles candied bacon (obviously). That said, we have a reason behind everything we do. If you have any questions just ask :) P.S. You can watch the video here.

Trillionaires’ Bacon

Eggs:

Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl

Add 1 tablespoon milk

Whisk together until blended

Set aside for about 15 minutes so it can come to room temperature

Our secret for fluffy scrambled eggs:

Whisk together 2 eggs and a tablespoon of milk. Set aside so the mixture comes to room temperature. Whisk again to incorporate air just before cooking

Bacon:

Place bacon in cold pan (we used cast iron skillet) so it renders evenly

How do we get evenly cooked bacon?

We start with a cold skillet and only place as many strips as will fit and make good contact with the pan.

Put burner on #3 heat

Bacon Seasonings:

Use amounts to suit your taste

• A fair amount of brown sugar

• Sprinkle in some turbinado sugar

• Red pepper flakes

• A fair amount of red pepper fakes

• A fair amount of ground black pepper

• Oregano

• Onion powder

• Garlic powder

• Sage

• Rosemary

• Cinnamon

Mix it up

Our seasoning mix

The main ingredients include a lot of brown sugar, chili pepper flakes and ground black pepper

Add Seasonings to Bacon:

When steam begins to rise from skillet and bacon begins to sizzle, sprinkle seasoning mixture on bacon strips

Fat protects sugars from burning

Once bacon begins to sizzle and fat is releasing from bacon, cover strips with half the seasoning mix. Keep temperature at #3 and move bacon around in skillet as needed to prevent burning

When first side is cooked, flip the bacon

Season other side

Pull pieces of bacon as they start to look crispy

Cooked bacon looks like this

It’s evenly cooked, crispy and just the right color of brown

Return to Eggs:

Beat egg and milk mixture until it starts to get frothy; you’re beating some air into it

Place 1 tablespoon butter in nonstick skillet

Spread melted butter to cover bottom of skillet

Pour eggs into pan, give it a minute as the underside begins to cook

Before stirring

Wait for underside to show signs of being cooked

Move around in skillet

Add salt and pepper

Once eggs begin to cook, add a few shakes of salt and pepper to taste

Flavorful toasted English muffins

Use the same pan you cooked your bacon in, melt some butter, toast one side and then the other.

We built a breakfast sandwich out of a toasted gluten free English muffin, sliced avocado seasoned with salt and pepper, trillionaire’s bacon and our incredibly fluffy scrambled eggs.

Plate muffin, eggs and bacon

Garnish with green onion for a touch of flavor and color
