How to Make Sunny-Side Up Eggs on Toast

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking. Once done, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2. In the same skillet, keep 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings or add a tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
3. Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
4. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread to your desired level of crispness.
5. To serve, place the toasted bread on plates, top each slice with a sunny-side up egg, and arrange crispy bacon on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
• For perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking to help the whites set.
• Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid overcooking the eggs or burning the bacon.

Easy Variations

• Avocado Toast: Top your eggs with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
• Herbed Eggs: Add fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
• Cheesy Delight: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the eggs in the last minute of cooking until melted.
• Sautéed Veggies: Add some spinach or tomatoes to the skillet while cooking the eggs for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A light green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Hash browns or roasted potatoes for extra heartiness.
• A warm croissant or pastry for a touch of indulgence.

Sunny-side up eggs are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to warm through without overcooking the eggs.
