From Mike's Notebook
Start bacon in a cold oven — it renders evenly and won't buckle or char unevenly.
Thin patties need a thermometer more than thick ones — they cook fast and dry out instantly if overdone.
Assemble with the hot patty on bottom so the cheese stays melted and the egg yolk stays runny.
