Cut the package of bacon in half and snip into small pieces using kitchen shears.

Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until it starts to break apart and render its fat.

Mash the pimmens with a fork until mostly smooth, similar to mashing bananas.

Add 1/2 cup melted butter to the mashed pimmens and mix well with a spatula.

Add 1 cup brown sugar to the mixture and combine thoroughly.

Add 1/2 cup sourdough discard and mix in.

Crack in 2 eggs and stir to combine.
