Scrambled Eggs with Hominy, Bacon, and Chilies

This was really good! I never would have thought of putting hominy into scrambled eggs, but it was actually a nice addition.

I swapped out the pork bacon for chicken "bacon" and then added a little bacon grease when cooking the green onions. I also added a bit of mild cheddar right at the end. The recipe doesn't call for any cheese, but I felt like it made a nice addition and complemented the other flavours well.

  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 c. grated cheddar (optional)

  1. Cook the bacon and the green onions until bacon is done and green onions are softened (~5 minutes).
  2. Add the hominy and chilies and cook until heated through (3-5 minutes).
  3. Beat the eggs with the milk.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the hominy and season to taste with salt and pepper.
