Main
  • 6 large eggs
  • 12 bacon slices
Directions

1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 12 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
3. Take the pan out of the oven and flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
