Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon strips
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lay the bacon strips in a single layer. Cook the bacon for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired crispness.
Step 2
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Step 3
Drain excess bacon grease from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind for flavor.
Step 4
Add the butter to the pan and let it melt over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cook the eggs to your preference: for sunny-side up, cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set; for over easy, flip gently and cook for an additional minute.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked eggs to a serving plate alongside the crispy bacon strips.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic bacon and egg breakfast.
