In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion in 3 tbsp butter until onion is tender, but not brown.

Add eggs and scramble just until set.

Turn the mixture into a greased 7x12-inch baking dish.

Combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, bread crumbs and paprika. Sprinkle over egg mixture.

Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
