Equipment Needed

🍳 Large Skillet
🥣 Mixing Bowl
🥄 Spatula
🍚 Baking Sheet

Instructions

1

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2

Prep the bacon: Arrange bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Brush each strip with maple syrup and sprinkle with black pepper and cayenne if using.

Tip: Use real New Hampshire maple syrup - it makes all the difference. Grade A Dark or Very Dark has the most robust maple flavor.
3

Bake the bacon: Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with more maple syrup. Bacon should be crispy and caramelized. Watch closely in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

4

Prep the eggs: While bacon bakes, crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, and white pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.

5

Scramble the eggs: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and let sit for 20 seconds. Gently push eggs from edges to center, creating soft curds. Remove from heat while still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking.

6

Chop the bacon: Once cooled slightly, chop the maple bacon into bite-sized pieces. Keep a few strips whole for garnish if desired.

7

Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

8

Assemble: Place scrambled eggs on each warm tortilla, top with shredded cheddar (it will melt from the heat), add chopped maple bacon, drizzle with extra maple syrup, and garnish with fresh chives.

9

Serve immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed hot. Serve with extra maple syrup on the side and hot sauce for those who like some heat.

💡 Pro Tips & Variations

  • Low and slow eggs: The key to creamy scrambled eggs is low heat and patience. High heat creates rubbery eggs.
  • Candied bacon upgrade: For extra crunch, sprinkle brown sugar on the bacon along with the maple syrup.
  • Add hash browns: Crispy hash browns make an excellent addition. Layer them under the eggs for added texture.
  • Make it a wrap: Use larger tortillas and roll everything up burrito-style for an on-the-go breakfast.
  • Vermont vs. New Hampshire maple: Both are excellent! Use whichever you prefer - the key is that it's 100% pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
