Pried Eggs and Bacon

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the bacon into small dice and place in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Cook until some fat melts away from the bacon, then transfer to a warm dish.

  3. In the same skillet, add a ladleful of melted bacon fat and heat.

  4. Add about a dozen bacon dice to the skillet.

  5. Slide an egg into the skillet and cook until done, ensuring the yolk does not harden.

  6. Transfer the cooked egg to a warm dish and repeat for additional eggs, adding fresh bacon dice each time.
