Perfect Fried Eggs with Bacon
The smell alone will wake up the whole house! This is a seriously good breakfast, whether it's a busy weekday or a lazy weekend. The one real secret is cooking the bacon right, so it turns out gloriously crispy. Fried eggs and bacon are a match made in heaven — a combo kids and grown-ups both love. Serve it with fresh herbs and sliced vegetables, or with just about any side you like: hash browns, grits, or pasta. A good sauce and some crunchy toast never hurt either.

- Cut the bacon into thin, long strips. Set a skillet over medium heat and let it come up to temperature — no oil needed, the pan should be dry. Lay the bacon in the hot pan and start cooking, flipping it back and forth so it browns evenly on both sides. You want to render the fat slowly, so keep the heat moderate, never higher than medium. If the pan renders more grease than you want, just pour the extra off into a bowl — and hang on to it, since rendered bacon fat keeps in the fridge and is great for cooking down the road. The main thing is not to burn the bacon: if it's cooking too fast, the heat is too high and needs to come down. All told, the bacon takes about 10 minutes; thicker strips need longer, while thin ones crisp up fast. Finished bacon turns a nice light brown — cook it a little less or a little more depending on how you like it. For shatter-crisp bacon with wavy edges, keep it going longer; for something meatier and juicier, pull it once it's just done and move on to the eggs. While the bacon cooks, wash the eggs, pat them dry, and crack them into a bowl. Gently slide the eggs onto the bacon in the hot skillet, keeping the yolks whole. Fry until they reach the doneness you like, seasoning with a little salt along the way. Serve your bacon and eggs hot off the pan. Enjoy your breakfast — have a great, energetic day!
