Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 8 pieces thick cut bacon
Lay the bacon on the medium-low zone of the griddle with no added fat; cook low and slow until golden brown on both sides, adding more strips as they shrink.
Starting the bacon
Remove the bacon to a hard surface rather than paper towels, which trap steam and reduce crispiness. Leave the fat on the griddle.
Taking off the bacon without paper towels
  • eggs
  • salt and pepper
Turn the burners to medium-high and crack the eggs into the bacon fat; season with salt and pepper.
Once the bottoms are crispy, cover with the lid to trap steam until the white is opaque over the yolk. Turn off the heat.
