Line an aluminum pan with non-stick foil and spray it with cooking spray.

Place another piece of foil on top of the sprayed foil and press down to create a cooking vessel.

Wedge an iron in the pan to create an indentation for the bacon.

Add bacon to the pan, following the shape of the indentation, and cover with foil.

Set the iron to high heat and cook the bacon for about 3-5 minutes until sizzling.

Butter a slice of bread on both sides and use a cookie cutter to cut out a heart shape in the center.

Invert the iron and carefully transfer the cooked bacon onto paper towels to drain.

Place the buttered bread on the iron and crack an egg into the heart-shaped cutout.

Cover the egg with another piece of bread on the side of the iron for even cooking.

Press down firmly to ensure good contact with the iron and cook until the egg is set.
