Steps
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and chop.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the bacon skillet, then pour in eggs. Let them sit 30 seconds before gently stirring until soft curds form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Fold in bacon pieces, then transfer to plates. Serve with mandarin oranges on the side.
