Start your day with a delightful twist on a classic breakfast with these Bacon and Egg Breakfast Nachos. Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for fan ovens).

In a frying pan, crisp up some chopped bacon until it’s beautifully golden, then set aside. In the same pan, crack a couple of eggs and fry them to your liking; whether you prefer them sunny-side up or scrambled, they’ll be the perfect creamy topping for your nachos.

Once the tortilla chips are crisp, remove them from the oven and layer on the crispy bacon, followed by the eggs. To elevate your breakfast nachos, add a handful of grated cheese—cheddar or a mix of your favourites work splendidly—and return them to the oven until the cheese has melted and bubbles enticingly.

Finish off with a dollop of sour cream, some sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped chives or coriander for a vibrant touch. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavours that will surely make your breakfast feel special!
