Ingredients

• 8 rashers (200g) streaky bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 2 avocados, halved, stone removed
• 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 50g baby spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, to serve

Instructions

1. Heat a large cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon rashers and cook 3-4 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a plate. Pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tsp in the pan.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add olive oil and garlic. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add cherry tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes until beginning to burst.
4. Add baby spinach. Toss briefly until wilted, about 1 minute.
5. Create 4 spaces in the pan. Crack one egg into each space. Season eggs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
6. Cover the pan and cook 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or 5-6 minutes for fully set yolks.
7. While eggs cook, slice avocados and season with salt and a squeeze of lemon.
8. Serve eggs and vegetables straight from the pan with bacon rashers and sliced avocado alongside. Garnish with chives or parsley and chili flakes if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use bacon fat instead of olive oil for cooking the vegetables to amplify savory depth.
• For extra crispy bacon, start in a cold pan and slowly increase heat — renders fat evenly.
• Add sliced mushrooms with the tomatoes for extra volume and umami.
• Cover the pan to steam-cook the egg whites fully while keeping yolks runny.
• Double the recipe easily in a large skillet for a family breakfast.
