This recipe is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians due to the inclusion of eggs and Canadian bacon. For a vegetarian version, substitute Canadian bacon with plant-based bacon alternatives.
Instructions:
-
Fry the Canadian Bacon:
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the Canadian bacon slices. Fry until they are crispy and golden brown, then remove from the pan and set aside. Keep the rendered fat in the pan for frying the eggs. -
Cook the Eggs:
Lower the heat to medium-low. Crack the eggs directly into the rendered bacon grease, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, typically around 4–5 minutes for fried eggs. -
Season and Serve:
Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the crispy Canadian bacon on the side, along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
