The eggs and bacon is / are on the table.
P/s: I do know this pattern of phrases are always go together, what do we call this group? Can I have more examples?

BTW, the opposite of "I never saw this before" is "I often see this," or "I have often seen this."
"I ever saw this" doesn't work.
In my experience, it's more common to say "bacon and eggs." It has a better rhythm to it.
