Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
1. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. No oil is needed as the bacon will release its own fat.
2. Place the bacon strips in the pan without overlapping. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired crispness.
3. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
4. Carefully drain most of the bacon fat from the pan into a heatproof container, leaving just a thin layer in the pan.
5. With the pan still on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.
6. Crack the eggs into the pan being careful not to break the yolks. If needed, crack each egg into a small bowl first to ensure the yolk remains intact.
7. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny.
8. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
9. Serve the eggs immediately along with the crispy bacon on a plate. Enjoy your delightful breakfast.
