Can I make it without bacon?

Yes, replace bacon with vegetable oil or butter, but the flavor will be less robust. You can add smoked paprika for a smoky taste.

How to make it less caloric?

Use only egg whites and replace bacon with lean ham or mushrooms. Cook on a non-stick pan without oil.

How do I know the eggs are done?

The whites should be fully set and firm, while the yolks remain runny or slightly thickened — depending on your preference.

Can I use frozen herbs?

Fresh herbs are better, but if you use frozen, add them at the very end and heat for 30 seconds. The flavor will be less vibrant.

SIMPLE PROCESS

Step by step recipe

To get the perfect bacon and eggs, fry the bacon until crisp, then add the eggs without stirring too much — this keeps the yolks intact and the whites tender. Add herbs at the very end to keep their fresh aroma. Follow these simple steps for a breakfast that truly delivers.

Step 1

Prep Ingredients

Slice the bacon into thin strips. Chop the fresh herbs finely. Bring eggs to room temperature if possible.

Step 2

Fry the Bacon

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon strips, and fry for 3–4 minutes until crispy and golden. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the Eggs

Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, trying not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Cook the Eggs

Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the whites are fully set. For sunny-side up, don't stir; for scrambled, gently mix with a spatula.

Step 5

Add Herbs

Sprinkle the chopped herbs over the eggs a minute before they're done to warm them through while keeping them fresh.

Step 6

Serve

Transfer the bacon and eggs to a plate, garnish with extra herbs or vegetables if desired, and serve hot.

CHEF'S TIP

Choose Quality Bacon

Use smoked bacon with a good fat-to-meat ratio for the best crunch and flavor.

Fry Over Medium Heat

Medium heat gives the bacon a golden, crispy texture without burning. Low heat will render the fat without crisping.

Don't Overmix the Eggs

For classic fried eggs with runny yolks, crack them and let them set without stirring. For scrambled, stir gently but don't overcook.

Add Herbs at the End

Fresh parsley or dill work best when sprinkled over the finished dish just before serving.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Add your taste

With Ham Replace bacon with thin slices of ham — the dish becomes less fatty and more delicate.
With Vegetables Add chopped tomatoes or bell peppers for a juicier, more colorful version.
With Cheese Sprinkle grated cheese over the eggs a minute before done for a cheesy crust.
Vegetarian Option Skip the bacon and sauté mushrooms or tofu instead — still filling and flavorful.

HOW TO STORE

How to Store Bacon and Eggs

Best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, cool them, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat in a dry skillet or microwave. Freezing is not recommended — the texture of eggs and bacon will suffer.
