Preheat the grill to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove half of the grill rack to make space for the cast iron skillet.

Place a cast iron skillet with a porcelain coating on the grill (made by Weber).

Add bacon to the skillet without any lubrication.

Keep one burner off while cooking the bacon on the other side.

After cooking one side of the bacon, flip it over and move it to the side with the burner off to dry it out and make it crispy.

Use a sturdy spatula to lift the bacon and drain excess oil through the drain hole in the skillet if desired.

Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired crispiness, about a minute after flipping.

Once the bacon is done, remove it from the grill and let it sit to become more rigid.

Use the grease left in the skillet to toast bread on the grill, listening for the sizzle.

Crack eggs into the skillet to cook sunny-side up, being careful not to break the yolks.

Flip the toast to ensure even cooking.

The creator mentions the surprise of getting two double yolks in the eggs.
