To Fry Eggs and Bacon

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the bacon into thin slices and remove the rind.

  2. Fry the bacon in a clean frying pan until browned, turning to prevent burning.

  3. Place the cooked bacon on a hot dish.

  4. Break each egg into a cup, then pour it carefully into the hot fat.

  5. Fry the eggs for about two minutes, then carefully remove them with a slice or spoon.

  6. Add the eggs to the dish with the bacon and pour the fat around them.

  7. Serve with toast underneath or around the dish as preferred.
