Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 4 Large eggs
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, chopped)
- 2 slices Bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt.
3. Place the slices of Canadian bacon into the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, until they are slightly browned and heated through. Remove the bacon and set aside on a plate.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
5. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle the eggs evenly with salt and black pepper.
6. Cook the eggs sunny-side up for 3–4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If desired, cover the skillet with a lid for a softer, slightly steamed texture.
7. Just before the eggs are fully cooked, return the Canadian bacon to the skillet alongside the eggs and place a slice of Swiss cheese over each piece of bacon. Allow the cheese to melt for about 30–60 seconds.
8. Using a spatula, carefully transfer the eggs and Swiss-covered Canadian bacon onto plates.
9. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve hot with slices of toasted bread on the side, if preferred.
