Sunny-side-up eggs with bacon – a recipe that always works

My tried-and-true method for sunny-side-up eggs with bacon is simple and doesn’t require complicated ingredients. The magic lies in properly frying the bacon, which releases its fat and aroma during cooking and is perfect for preparing the eggs. Thanks to this, you no longer need to use additional butter or oil — the bacon does all the work.

Ingredients for sunny-side-up eggs with bacon:

                  
  • 2 eggs,
  • 3 thin slices of bacon (preferably smoked),
  • salt and pepper to taste,
  • favourite sides: young potatoes with dill, lettuce, fresh bread.

How do I prepare sunny-side-up eggs with bacon step by step?

                      
  1. Heat a dry skillet thoroughly, preferably one with a non-stick coating.
  2. Lay thin slices of bacon on the hot surface. Fry them over medium heat until they become crispy and slightly curled.
  3. When the bacon is properly browned and has rendered its fat, gently crack two eggs onto the skillet—preferably so that the yolks remain whole.
  4. Cover the skillet with a lid and leave everything for a few minutes until the whites are set, and the yolk remains runny (or more set, if you prefer).
  5. Sprinkle the ready sunny-side-up eggs with a bit of salt and freshly ground pepper.

It's no wonder I consider sunny-side-up eggs with bacon and young potatoes with dill a perfect duo. The crispy, slightly salty bacon contrasts perfectly with the delicate flavour of the eggs, and the potatoes with a touch of fresh dill and a bit of butter are the best complement to such a plate.
