  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels; crumble.

  3. Pour some of the bacon fat in the skillet and scramble eggs over medium heat until just set; remove from heat.
  4. Butter one side of each bread slice. Toast buttered sides in a skillet until golden.

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Use thick-cut bread for sturdiness.
