Bacon Lover’s Fried Eggs

In the morning, Hubs lovesssss his iced coffee. And according to him, the weekend is requires “real” bacon [and not that turkey bacon I try to buy instead] that’s extra crunchy.

So, that said… last weekend I bypassed my usual way of cooking bacon (in the oven, sprinkled with brown sugar – YUM! – or stove top, fried) and opted for the method his Dad always used… via the reliable microwave.

To cook bacon in the microwave, lay two paper towels on a plate, top with 5 or 6 slices on bacon that are evenly spaced, then cover with two more paper towels. Cook in 2-minute intervals until desired crispiness. It’s not the BEST way to cook bacon, but it’s sure timely and doesn’t make a mess of your stove.

This bacon lover’s fried egg is an easy breakfast that, along with the cheated way I cooked the bacon, you could have made within 15 minutes. It’s a delicious egg, topped with crunchy bits of bacon. Of course, you also have to serve some on the side!

Bacon Lover’s Fried Eggs

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked (see my cheat-sheet microwaved version above)
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Spray a small frying pan with cooking spray (like Pam) and heat over a medium flame (or burner!).
  2. Once the pan is hot, crack the 2 eggs in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, chop up 1 slice of the cooked bacon.
  4. Before you flip the egg over to cook the other side, sprinkle the “gooey” side with the bacon bits.
  5. Flip and cook until lightly brown. Serve with remaining 3 slices of bacon on the side.
