Ingredients

• 4 slices thick-sliced bacon, finely chopped
• 1/2 lb thin-skinned potato, scrubbed and cut into 1/4 inch cubes
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 8 large eggs
• 3/4 cup monterey jack cheese, divided
• 2 tablespoons minced parsley

Instructions

1. In a 10-inch ovenproof, nonstick frying pan, combine bacon, potatoes, onion and garlic over medium heat.

2. Stir often until bacon is crisp and potatoes are browned, about 20 minutes.

3. Spoon mixture into a bowl and keep warm.

4. While bacon mixture cooks, beat eggs in a bowl until blended.

5. When bacon mixture is done, transfer to bowl and pour eggs into frying pan.
