🛒 Ingredients

  • 6–8 slices bacon

  • 1/2 small onion, sliced paper-thin

  • 1 medium tomato, sliced into thin rounds

  • 5 large eggs

  • 1 cup (about 100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Salt, freshly cracked black pepper, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes to taste

  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

For the garlic toast

  • 2 thick slices sourdough bread

  • 1 raw garlic clove

  • Extra virgin olive oil

🍳 Instructions

Step 1 — Make the Garlic Toast

Rub the garlic clove over the sourdough slices, drizzle with olive oil, and toast until golden and very crispy. Set aside.

Step 2 — Build the Skillet Base

In a cold skillet, lay the bacon flat across the bottom. Add the thin onion slices over the bacon, then arrange the tomato slices on top. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3 — Add the Eggs and Seasoning

Crack the eggs directly over the tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chili flakes.

Step 4 — Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the egg whites are set and the bacon underneath becomes crispy. Don’t rush this part — the slow cook is what gives you crisp bacon and tender eggs at the same time.

Step 5 — Melt the Cheese

Turn off the heat, sprinkle the mozzarella over the eggs, cover again, and let the residual heat melt the cheese.

Step 6 — Finish and Serve

Finish with chopped parsley. Cut into portions and serve over the crispy garlic toast while the yolks are still runny and the toast is still crisp.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Do not rush the covered cooking — that is what lets the bacon render and crisp underneath.

  • Keep the toast very crisp so it can hold the eggs and yolk without getting soggy too fast.

  • Serve immediately for the best cheese pull and yolk dip.

📌 FAQ

Can I make this with another cheese?

Yes — provolone, Monterey Jack, or a mild cheddar all work well. Mozzarella gives the softest melt and the best cheese pull.

Can I use another kind of bread?

Absolutely. Any sturdy bread works, but sourdough is especially good because it stays crisp under the eggs and yolk.

How do I keep the yolks runny?

Cook the skillet covered over medium-low heat and stop as soon as the whites are set. Residual heat will keep cooking them if you leave them too long.

Can I make it less spicy?

Yes — simply leave out the red chili flakes and season only with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
