Method

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly until the yolks and whites are combined. If you prefer fried eggs, skip the whisking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If making scrambled eggs, add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs and stir gently until they are cooked to your desired doneness. For fried eggs, add a little butter to the skillet, then crack the eggs directly into the pan. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred firmness.

  3. 3

    Season the Eggs

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the cooked eggs to taste.

Cooking the Bacon or Sausage

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bacon or Sausage

    If using bacon, lay the slices flat in a cold skillet. If using sausage links, place them in the skillet as well.

  2. 5

    Cook the Bacon or Sausage

    Turn the heat to medium and cook until the bacon is crispy or the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for bacon and 10-12 minutes for sausage. Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.

Toasting the Bread

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread

    While the bacon or sausage is cooking, place the slices of bread in a toaster or on a grill. Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 7

    Butter the Toast

    Once toasted, spread a small amount of butter on each slice of bread while it's still warm.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve the Breakfast

    On a plate, arrange the cooked eggs, bacon or sausage, and buttered toast. Enjoy your classic breakfast!
