1/2red bell pepper cut into chunks
2bok choy stalks trimmed
4eggs
olive oil butteror ghee
sea salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions
Fry bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crisp, or alternatively cook in the oven.
TO COOK BACON IN THE OVEN:
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a sheet pan with foil (for easier cleanup) then a sheet of parchment paper on top. Lay the bacon in a single layer (making sure to not to overlap) on the pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes (rotating try once), or until crisp.
FOR THE ASPARAGUS:
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add oil then garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the asparagus, bok choy, bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper and cook, stirring, until the asparagus and bok choy are bright green and crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
Transfer among plates.
FOR THE EGGS:
Wipe down the same frying pan and heat remaining oil over medium low heat. (To test the temperature - add 1/2 teaspoon water - if the water sizzles and evaporates then pan is hot enough). Swirl and tilt pan to coat the bottom then gently crack 2 eggs into the pan. Let cook until white has set, but yolk is still a bit runny, about 2-2 1/2 minutes.
Carefully remove from pan with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
