Method

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 1

    Scrambled or Fried Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat. If scrambling, crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until combined. Pour into the skillet once hot. Stir gently until they are cooked to your desired consistency. If frying, crack the eggs directly into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.

Cooking the Meat

  1. 2

    Bacon or Sausage

    In a separate skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the bacon slices or sausage links. Cook bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally. For sausage, cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, turning until browned and cooked through.

Toasting the Bread

  1. 3

    Toast Preparation

    While the eggs and meat are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown. Once toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each slice while they are still warm.
