Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Dip each crumpet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked in the mixture. Let the crumpets absorb the egg mixture for a few seconds.
In the preheated frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Place the soaked crumpets into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the crumpets from the pan and keep warm.
In the same pan, add the remaining butter and lay down the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Plate the eggy crumpets on a serving dish and top with crispy bacon slices.
Optional: Drizzle maple syrup over the eggy crumpets and bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Eggy Crumpets with Bacon!
