Instructions

Cook bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
~10 min - 2
While the bacon cooks, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper in a small bowl to create the glaze.
~2 min - 3
Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
~1 min - 4
Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Pour the maple-chili glaze over the bacon and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens.
~2 min - 5
Create four wells in the bacon mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt.
~1 min - 6
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (about 5-8 minutes).
~8 min - 7
Garnish with fresh chives before serving directly from the skillet.

Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze. For a milder flavor, reduce the sriracha.
- Serve immediately from the skillet for a rustic presentation. This dish pairs well with toast or a side of fresh fruit.
