Instructions
- Cook Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
- Sauté Veggies: Add olive oil, diced onion, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes.

- Cook Eggs: Make four wells in the skillet and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until eggs are done to your liking, about 5–6 minutes for runny yolks.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and green onions. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
- You can swap bacon for sausage or mushrooms.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
