Method

Cooking Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, gently stirring, until they are set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the bacon slices. Cook over medium heat until crispy, flipping occasionally. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

Toasting Bread

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the bacon is cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. Once toasted, spread a thin layer of butter on each slice.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Breakfast

    On a plate, arrange the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and buttered toast. Serve immediately while hot.
