Cooking Main Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet with a bit of bacon grease, crack the eggs and fry them to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled). This should take about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Preparing Optional Sides

  1. 4

    Prepare Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces or mash it with a fork, adding a pinch of salt.

  2. 5

    Prepare Tomatoes

    Wash the tomato and cut it into slices or wedges, according to your preference.

  3. 6

    Prepare Spinach

    Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. You can serve them fresh as a salad or lightly sauté them in the pan with a bit of olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
