Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of bacon, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is crispy and golden brown.
- Once the bacon is cooked, use tongs to transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, crack the 4 large eggs directly into the pan. Be careful not to break the yolks if you prefer sunny-side-up eggs. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer your yolks cooked through, you can cover the skillet with a lid to help them cook evenly.
- While the eggs are cooking, crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the eggs. Allow it to melt for about 1-2 minutes.
- To serve, carefully slide the cheesy eggs onto plates. Top with the crumbled bacon and additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Enjoy your savory breakfast dish of bacon, eggs, and cheese with toast or your favorite breakfast sides!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for more even cooking and better texture
- Choose thick-cut bacon for maximum crispiness and flavor
- Let the bacon grease remain in the pan for an extra layer of deliciousness
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking
- For extra richness, try using sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- Cover the skillet with a lid to help eggs cook more evenly
- Season your eggs generously - don't be shy with salt and pepper
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the bacon is crisp
