Ingredients

Method

1. 1. Crisp the bacon. Place turkey bacon in a cold non-stick skillet. Heat over medium until browned and edges are slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
2. 2. Prepare the eggs. Whisk eggs in a small bowl with salt and pepper until just combined. Don't over-whisk; we want those whites and yolks distinct for texture.
3. 3. Cook gently. Add olive oil to the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs. Move them gently with a spatula until they reach your preferred level of firmness.
4. 4. Serve. Plate immediately alongside the turkey bacon. Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh finish.

Yes, but for best texture, cook the eggs fresh each morning. You can prep the bacon ahead of time and store it in an airtight container for up to three days.

What is the healthiest way to cook eggs?

Cooking eggs over medium-low heat with a healthy fat like olive oil helps preserve the integrity of the nutrients in the yolk.

Is turkey bacon a healthy protein?

It is a lower-fat alternative to pork bacon, but look for labels that specify "nitrate-free" to ensure you are avoiding unnecessary additives.
