Step-by-step

  • Spray a non-stick skillet with Pam.
  • Pre-heat pan over medium heat until beads of water sizzles.
  • Add eggs, being careful not to break the yolk (see note below), cover and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or to your liking (we like the yolk runny).
  • Toast bread and immediately add the slice of cheese.
  • Add the eggs, salt and pepper and the crumbled bacon.
  • Enjoy.
  • NOTE: At times I will break the eggs into a bowl and then pour them into the skillet. Haven't had a yolk break yet.
