Meats
1. Cook the bacon
Place a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the 3 bacon slices in a single layer and cook until browned and crisp, about 6–8 minutes, flipping once. Transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate and reserve 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat in the pan for flavor (leave the rest in the paper towel or discard).
Home Fries
3. Par-cook the potatoes
Put diced potatoes (450 g) in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until just fork-tender, about 7–9 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well and let steam-dry for 1–2 minutes.
4. Sauté fries and onion
While potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil plus 1 tsp reserved bacon fat (if using). When shimmering, add the drained potatoes in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and let them sit undisturbed 2–3 minutes to develop a crust. Toss or turn and add the 1/2 cup diced onion. Continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and crisp on edges, about 8–10 minutes total.
5. Season home fries
Lower heat to medium, sprinkle the potatoes and onions with 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Stir to combine and cook 1–2 more minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley if using. Keep warm until plating.
Eggs
6. Prep and cook eggs
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter and 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil; swirl to coat. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl, season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and beat lightly until blended. Pour eggs into the skillet and let them set at the edges briefly. Using a spatula, gently scramble with broad strokes until just set but still moist — or cook to your preferred doneness. Total cook time about 2–3 minutes for softly scrambled eggs.
Bread & Cheese
8. Toast the bun
Split the Viro's bun or English muffin and spread 1 tbsp unsalted butter on the cut sides. Return to a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast cut-side down until golden brown and crisp, about 1–2 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
9. Optional spread
If using, spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom or top half of the toasted bun. This adds moisture and tang and helps keep the sandwich together.
Assembly
10. Assemble the Mega Egg Sandwich
On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the warmed ham slices, then the crisp bacon strips (slightly overlapping). Add the cheesy scrambled eggs on top of the bacon.
