Instructions
Brown bacon in a 12-in. cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, 8 to 10 minutes, turning as needed.

Cut a hole in each slice; set centers aside.
Put bread in pan, pressing down slightly to flatten, and set over medium-low heat. Put about 1/2 tsp. butter in each hole, then crack an egg into each.
Sprinkle eggs with a little salt and pepper. Cook until bottom of bread is golden, 3 minutes.
Flip toast and eggs carefully with a wide spatula.
Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Cook until underside of toast is golden and egg is done the way you like, about 3 minutes more for softly set.
