Smoky bacon and melting cheese.
Equipment: Non-stick frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 rashers of bacon, chopped
- 40 g cheddar, grated
- Small knob of butter
- Black pepper
Optional extras
- 1 spring onion (scallion), sliced
Method
- Fry the bacon in the pan until crisp, then set aside, leaving the fat behind.
- Beat the eggs with a little pepper. Add the butter to the pan and pour in the eggs.
- As they set, draw the edges in and tilt the pan so the runny egg flows out.
- Scatter the bacon, cheese and spring onion over one half, fold, and serve. Taste before adding salt — the bacon already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Cooking the eggs in a little of the bacon fat adds extra flavour. No need for added salt — the bacon brings plenty.
