BACON, EGGS, AND TOAST: MY VERSION

Steps:

• Prep: The first thing I do is get the eggs out of the fridge, the bacon and the bread. I try to get the eggs to room temp by putting them out early, but it isn't required. They may just take a bit longer to cook. Get your pan on the burner and pre-heat it to medium-ish. I start closer to medium low, then move it to medium when I'm there cooking the eggs.
• Now, the bacon. Ever used a microwave for your bacon? It's too easy, trust me. Take 2-3 slices and place them evenly on a paper towel. Cover with another piece of towel and get them on a microwave safe plate. Times may vary for this, but my oven is 1000 watts and the bacon gets nice and crispy how I like it in two minutes, thirty seconds. Adjust according to yours.
• Bread. Simple. Just place two slices in the toaster ready to go.
• Cooking: You've got your eggs next to the stove and your pan on and heated, your bacon is in the microwave, and the bread is standing by in the toaster.
• Set the microwave to 2:30 and hit start, press down the plunger on the toaster, put some butter in the pan to melt, and break the eggs into the pan. Don't worry about the toast or bacon getting done early, as they will keep warm from residual heat in their respective cooking implements. We're going to concentrate on the eggs.
• You've cracked them in there and they're beginning to turn white. At this point, I salt them and crack some liberal pepper over them. To taste, of course.
• Next, you'll see a sort of raised ring, about a half inch to inch around the yolk, of white. I constantly take the corner of my spatula and break through this to the cooking surface. What that does is expose more and more white to the heat and I like this part cooked and not runny, but the yolk really runny. Once this has set up, you're basically done. Shake the pan and look to see if you have any jiggly, clear bits. No? Put the eggs on a plate.
• Careful getting the bacon out of the microwave and towels. HOT. Put them on the plate as well.
• Butter the toast, put them on the plate.
• Sit down and feast like a King, or Queen, heheheh.
• I like to break the yolks, cut up the the eggs and mix it all together, and pile a fork full on a corner of the toast (repeat) and chow down like that, occasionally taking a bite of the savory bacon for a change of tongue scenery, if you will, but you eat it however you like, heheh.

HASH BROWNS, SAUSAGE, AND BACON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place hash browns into lightly sprayed 9"x11" pan and press down evenly to form a crust. Drizzle with butter and bake for 25 minutes.
• Place cheeses, sausage, and bacon over the crust. If desired, cover at this point and refrigerate until the next day.
• Beat milk and eggs together. Pour over cheese and meat.
• Cook in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

SPINACH, POTATO, AND BACON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack about 5 inches from heating element and set oven to broil.
• Whisk eggs, half-and-half, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in bowl until combined. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese.
• Microwave spinach in large microwave-safe bowl, covered with plastic wrap, on high power until wilted, about 90 seconds. Transfer spinach to clean dish towel and squeeze out excess liquid.
• Microwave potatoes in now-empty bowl, covered with plastic wrap, on high power until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fry bacon in medium nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to plate lined with paper towel and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.
• Add potatoes to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add spinach, bacon, and egg mixture and cook, using rubber spatula to stir and scrape bottom of skillet, until large curds form but eggs are still very wet, about 2 minutes.
• Shake skillet to distribute eggs evenly and cook, without stirring, until bottom is set, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
• Broil until surface is spotty brown, 3 to 4 minutes (eggs should be slightly wet and runny inside). Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes to finish cooking.
• Slide frittata onto platter and cut into wedges.
