Method

Cooking Meats

  1. 1

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook Sausage Patties

    In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  3. 3

    Cook Ham Slices

    Add ham slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly browned.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, cook turkey sausage links for about 4 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Cook Side Pork

    Cook side pork slices in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until crispy.

  6. 6

    Cook Burger Patty

    Form the ground beef into a patty and cook it in a separate skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Cooking Eggs

  1. 7

    Fry Eggs

    In a small non-stick skillet, crack the eggs and cook them over medium heat to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up or 4-5 minutes for over-easy.

Preparing Sides

    In another skillet, add a small amount of oil over medium heat and add hashbrowns. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until crispy and golden brown.

    Scoop cottage cheese into a serving bowl and set aside.

    Slice Tomatoes

    Wash and slice the tomatoes into ¼ inch thick slices and set aside.

Toasting Bread
