Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and egg whites with salt and pepper.
Pour into the skillet with the reserved bacon grease.
Cook slowly over medium-low heat, stirring gently until just set and fluffy.
Transfer eggs to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess moisture. -

Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve. -
