Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add the eggs and simmer for 3 mins then put the lid on and turn off the heat, leave to stand for 2 mins.

Meanwhile heat the grill and cook the bacon on both sides until crispy. Toast the bread and butter it.

When the eggs are cooked run them under cold water until they are cool enough to handle then peel off the shells.
