How to Make Egg and Bacon Toast
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs carefully into the remaining bacon fat. Cook sunny-side up for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown. If desired, spread a thin layer of butter on the bread while toasting for extra flavor.
- Once the eggs are cooked, assemble your toast by placing the crispy bacon on top of the toasted bread, followed by the sunny-side-up egg.
- Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then serve immediately.
