Another egg recipe

Or better known as the lazy man way of cooking breakfast. I like eggs, and damn the high prices. Bacon too. Damn the high prices and high fats. Sharp cheddar cheese. Tomatoes. Toast. There's a downside. Cleaning up afterwards. Making bacon entails a lot of grease and such. So there has to be a way to deal with the bacon grease. I eat it!

I'm sure that will gross out some folks. But bacon grease mixed up with eggs will cause the eggs to cook more evenly in a microwave. I recently discovered that trick. It does come out looking like a hockey puck though. So, I'm perfecting the technique. I took the time down to 1:45, but it's still hockey puckish. Next time, it will be a bit shorter on the time in the microwave.

The bacon goes in the air fryer. I like it crisp, but not burnt. That requires some time adjustment as well. I cook one side at 7 minutes at 400 degrees. The other side for 4 minutes at 400 degree F. Between the two sides, I pour off the bacon grease, and put it in a bowl, Add the eggs and cook the eggs, while finishing the other side of the bacon.

The bacon goes in aluminum foil, which is discarded afterwards during the cleanup. In order to not have a bunch more bacon grease, I set a piece of bread inside the foil, with the bacon on top. That makes the toast while finishing the bacon. Also, after two minutes in the air fryer, I add some cheese to melt it before serving.

Then I cut up a tomato while the eggs and bacon are cooking. The bacon comes out crispy, there's little mess to clean up, and the eggs come out of the bowl pretty easy without sticking, thanks to the bacon grease.

It's a pretty good system. Maybe not as good as in Goodfellas, while they were in prison, and not the same dish, but it works for me.
