About the Recipe
Rich, flavorful eggs fried gently in savory bacon fat, paired with deliciously crispy beef bacon. An indulgent, protein-rich breakfast that will energize your morning.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
3 large eggs (Chicken or Duck)
3 slices beef bacon (choose sugar-free and uncured)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
Preparation
Cook Beef Bacon:
Place beef bacon slices in a cold skillet and heat gently over medium heat. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally (around 5-7 minutes).
Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
Fried Eggs in Bacon Fat:
Using the same skillet with reserved bacon grease, reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully crack eggs into skillet.
Cook eggs gently until whites are set and yolks reach your desired doneness (approximately 2-3 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Cooking Tip: Cooking eggs slowly at a lower temperature prevents burning and keeps them tender.
Serve:
Plate crispy beef bacon alongside fried eggs immediately.
Meat Lover’s Flavor Boost Options:
Smoked Sea Salt: Sprinkle lightly over eggs for added savory smokiness.
Red Pepper Flakes: A pinch sprinkled onto eggs for a gentle heat.
Garlic-Infused Bacon Fat: Add a small pinch of garlic powder into bacon fat before frying eggs for depth of flavor.
Browned Butter Drizzle: Add a teaspoon of browned butter to the finished eggs for richness and nuttiness.
