Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Arrange bacon strips in a single layer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel–lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Crack eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them apart. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes for sunny-side up, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.

  4. Step 4

    Season eggs with salt and pepper. Plate immediately and serve with bacon alongside.
