Instructions

  1. 1

    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. 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. 3

    Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.

    ~1 min
  4. 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. 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. 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. 7

    Garnish with fresh chives before serving directly from the skillet.

    ~1 min

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.
