Ingredients

4 middle bacon rashers, rind trimmed
4 eggs
20 g butter or 1 tbsp oil
Salt and pepper
4 slices toast, to serve
Grilled tomato or baked beans (optional)

Method

Heat a large frying pan over medium–high. Add bacon (no oil needed if streaky). Cook 3–4 minutes a side until crisp to your liking. Transfer to a warm plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter or a splash of oil if the pan is dry.
Crack eggs into the pan. For sunny-side: cook undisturbed 3–4 minutes until whites set. For over-easy: flip carefully for 30–60 seconds.
Season eggs with salt and pepper. Serve with bacon and toast (and tomato or beans if you like).

Tip: Start bacon in a cold pan for even rendering. Keep eggs on medium so whites set before yolks toughen.
