This is our family’s unique take on the most tried and true breakfast there is; bacon and eggs! A staple breakfast in our household has always been bacon with sunny-side up eggs, or as my niece calls them, “floodies”. A couple years ago we decided to switch things up with the bacon seasoning and we’ve been hooked ever since!
The mixture of sweet and savory in this recipe just can’t be beat, and the cooking method adds the most delicious smoky flavor to the bacon. Whether we’re at home cooking on the back patio or on a family camping trip, we always cook this recipe on our Otzi flat pack grills. All our grills are designed by our family and made in the US.
With their adjustable grill height, griddle plate, and skewer holders, our grills are the perfect tool for cooking this recipe to flavorful perfection.
We recommend using thick-cut bacon, light brown sugar, and pasture raised grade A or AA eggs. We live on a small farm so we use fresh eggs from our pasture raised chickens, and the egg quality really heightens the recipe.
