Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk gently for 15 seconds so that the yolks break. Continue to whisk and pour in milk. Once the milk and egg is combined thoroughly, add the sour cream. Whisk together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese, scallions and chives to the egg mixture and fold in to combine.

Once the butter is melted, add the bacon and potatoes. Cook 1 minute and make sure they are evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan. Pour in egg mixture. Let cook for 2 minutes. Once the bottom begins to set, pull the edge of the side in front of you up and tilt the pan towards you allowing the egg mixture to fill in the gap. Let cook another 5 minutes until sides are firm and middle is slightly set. Place pan in oven and let cook for 10 minutes
