* Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Clothing with a little olive oil cooking spray olive oil and cook the Canadian bacon for a few minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove. Coat the same skillet with a little cooking spray and eggs (2 at a time, if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan) sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still liquid.
