Ingredients

• 4 slices of bacon
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cups of hominy, drained and rinsed
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel. Crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
4. Stir in the drained and rinsed hominy, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until heated through.
5. Create 4 small wells in the hominy mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
6. Cover the skillet and cook the eggs until they reach your desired level of doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for about 3-4 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cook for 5-6 minutes.
7. Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
