Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 units Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
3. While the bacon is cooking, rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.
4. Once the bacon is removed, leave about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet (or use olive oil if preferred). Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly caramelized.
5. Push the tomatoes to the side of the skillet to make space, then crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
6. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness—about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up or longer if you prefer the yolks fully cooked.
7. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan. Spread a thin layer of butter over the warm toast once done.
8. To serve, place two slices of toast on each plate. Top with crispy bacon, sautéed tomatoes, and eggs. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your tomato and bacon breakfast!
