To Fry Eggs and Bacon

Ingredients

Directions

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

  2. Fry the bacon in a clean frying pan until nicely 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 in the pan.

  5. Fry the eggs for about two minutes, then carefully remove them with a spatula 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 bacon and eggs, as preferred.
