Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 rashers bacon, around 100g

COOK MODE

Instructions
 

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and beat with a fork or whisk.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium frypan on a medium-high heat. Add the bacon rashers and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining butter in the same frypan on a medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, pour in the whisked eggs. Gently move the eggs around the pan until just set - about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, serve them with the bacon.

Notes

Get creative with your eggs! Boost their flavour by adding a sprinkle of turmeric or chilli flakes before cooking, or sprinkle with fresh coriander before serving. You might even like some crumbled fetta over the top.
If you prefer, you can cook your bacon in an air fryer. Set the air fryer to 200C and cook bacon rashers for 6-10 mins – just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins.
