1
Prepare the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.
2
Cook the Bacon
Lay the bacon slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
3
Drain the Bacon
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

4
Add Butter
In the same skillet (with some bacon grease for flavor), add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
5
Crack the Eggs
Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set.
6
Season the Eggs
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs to taste.
7
Finish Cooking
If you prefer your yolks firmer, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
8
Serve
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate alongside the crispy bacon.
