Method

Cooking Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a small bowl, crack the two eggs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk them lightly until the yolks and whites are just combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs. Cook until the edges start to set, then use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Cook until the desired doneness is reached (soft scrambled, over-easy, etc.).

Cooking Meats

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the bacon slices. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown, around 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the sausage links. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Toasting Bread

  1. 5

    Toast the Bread

    While the meats are cooking, toast the two slices of bread in a toaster until golden brown. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each slice after toasting.

Preparing Coffee

  1. 6

    Brew the Coffee

    Brew 1 cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.).

  2. 7

    Add Sugar and Milk

    Add sugar and milk to taste, stirring well to combine.
