Coffee-Glazed Bacon With Eggs

• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons instant coffee
• Freshly ground pepper
• 8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 8 large eggs
• Kosher salt
• Buttered toast, for serving

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Combine the maple syrup, instant coffee, and pepper to taste in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the coffee dissolves.
3. Remove from the heat.
4. Stir in the bacon until coated.
5. Arrange the bacon on the rack; drizzle with some of the remaining coffee syrup.
6. Bake 20 minutes, then flip and drizzle with the remaining syrup; continue baking until the bacon is dark brown and glazed, about 15 more minutes.
7. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until opaque around the edges, about 2 minutes.
9. Cover and cook 4 to 6 more minutes.
10. Repeat with the remaining butter and eggs.
11. Serve the fried eggs with the bacon and toast.
