Fried Eggs and Minced Ham or Bacon

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the bacon into very thin slices, then into small square pieces.

  2. Place the bacon in a skillet over low heat to render some fat.

  3. Once the fat has melted, transfer the bacon to a warm dish.

  4. In the same skillet, add a ladleful of the melted bacon fat.

  5. Add about a dozen small pieces of bacon to the skillet.

  6. Carefully crack an egg into the skillet, ensuring it cooks without hardening the yolk.

  7. Once cooked, transfer the egg to a warm dish and repeat with the remaining eggs.
