Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. No oil is needed as the bacon will release its own fat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
3. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
Step 4
4. Carefully drain most of the bacon fat from the pan into a heatproof container, leaving just a thin layer in the pan.
Step 5
5. With the pan still on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
9. Serve the eggs immediately along with the crispy bacon on a plate. Enjoy your delightful breakfast.
