You're Not Cracking Your Eggs on a Flat Surface
In order to get the best, cleanest, and easiest cracked egg, you should avoid cracking it on the side of a bowl. When you crack an egg using a wedge type surface, you risk breaking the yolk and getting fragments of eggshell into the eggs themselves. Cracking eggs on a flat surface allows the eggshell to shatter naturally, without breaking the membrane.

Evidently, the paper towels will soak up most of the grease, helping your bacon cook faster and more evenly.
