Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 5 oz (140 g) bacon, sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved, optional
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, optional
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Start bacon in a cold pan. This allows the fat to render out slowly and evenly, resulting in perfectly crispy bacon without burning.
  • For extra flavor, baste the eggs with the hot bacon fat as they cook. This helps cook the tops of the yolks without having to flip them.
  • To merge flavors, push the cooked bacon to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the other side to cook them together.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Place the sliced bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired crispiness.
  3. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack the eggs directly into the hot bacon fat.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up, or flip and cook for another minute for over-easy. If using, add the tomatoes to the pan alongside the eggs during the last minute of cooking.
  6. Serve the eggs and bacon immediately, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and garnished with fresh parsley.
