To Fry Eggs and Bacon

Ingredients

Directions

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

  2. Place the bacon slices in a clean, dry frying pan and fry until golden brown, turning to prevent burning.

  3. Transfer the bacon to a hot dish.

  4. Break each egg into a cup, then pour it carefully into the hot fat in the pan and fry for about two minutes.

  5. Ensure the eggs do not stick or burn, then lift them out with a spatula and place them on the dish with the bacon.

  6. Pour the fat around the eggs and cut the toast into neat pieces to arrange around the dish.
