Ingredients
- ●8 eggs (use only 6 yolks)
- ●8-12 strips bacon
- ●4 sausage links or patties
- ●Bread, bagels, or English muffins for toast
- ●Shredded cheese (optional, for eggs)
- ●Kosher salt
- ●Black pepper
- ●Butter for eggs
- ●Optional: 3-4 potatoes for home fries
- ●Optional: 1/2 onion, diced (for home fries)
- ●Olive oil (for potatoes)
Assembly
- 1.Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and lay out the bacon strips. Put them in the oven and keep an eye on them — timing depends on thickness.
- 2.Start the sausage links in a pan over medium heat. Try to sear all four sides — by the time all sides are browned, the inside should be cooked through.
- 3.If making home fries: dice potatoes into small chunks. In a separate pan, cook diced onions with oil first, then add the potatoes. Let them get crispy.
- 4.Crack 8 eggs into a bowl, but only include 6 of the yolks — discard 2 yolks. Scramble with salt and pepper.
- 5.Cook the eggs last in a buttered pan over medium heat, stirring gently. Add cheese on top if desired.
- 6.Toast your bread, bagels, or English muffins.
- 7.Plate everything together and serve.

The Story
“This is what I make when I'm cooking breakfast for friends or family. The trick with the eggs is to not use all the yolks — if I'm making eight eggs, I'll only use six yolks. It makes them a little healthier and I think gives the eggs a better consistency so the yolks don't overpower it. I start with the bacon in the oven and the sausage in a pan, then do potatoes if I'm making them, and the eggs go last since they cook fastest. Everything comes together at the same time and you've got a real breakfast.”
