Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook the bacon in the oven for 8 minutes, then flip it over and continue baking for 5-10 minutes until cooked to desired crispiness.

Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Crack about 1.5 eggs per person into a bowl and whisk with salt and pepper to taste.

Slice the focaccia bread in half for the sandwiches.

Heat a medium-sized nonstick pan on medium-high and add butter.

Once the butter melts, add the eggs and gently stir with a fork or plastic spatula for about 30 seconds.

Continue to scramble the eggs for another 30 seconds until almost completely set, then remove from heat.

Add mozzarella cheese on top of the hot eggs to melt.

Assemble the sandwich by layering bacon and eggs topped with melted cheese on the bottom half of the focaccia, and add hot sauce and fresh parsley if desired.

Top with the other half of the focaccia and enjoy.
