Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving 1 tbsp bacon fat in the skillet. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and melt over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny, stirring gently with a spatula.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups fresh chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then stir in the crumbled bacon and serve immediately.
