Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Toast the 2 burger buns in the same skillet over medium heat until golden, about 1 minute per side. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the 1 tbsp butter in the skillet over medium heat. Crack the 2 eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set and the edges are crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more for a firm yolk, or leave runny.

  4. Step 4

    Place the bacon on the bottom buns, top with the fried eggs, and sprinkle with the 0.5 tsp black pepper. Cover with the top buns and serve hot.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: add ketchup, hot sauce, or cheese if you like.
