Eggs and Bacon 

One of the most popular breakfast dishes which can be eaten and enjoyed at any time. 

Ingredients:

4 Rashers Smoked back bacon
1 Teaspoon Butter or lard
4 Eggs

Method:

Cut the rinds off the bacon with kitchen scissors and put them in a frying pan with the butter or lard. Let them give up their fat over a low heat for a few minutes, then put in the bacon rashers and fry to a medium brown on each side, turning them only once.

Push them to the side of the pan, break the eggs into the bacon fat and let them fry fairly gently. When they are firm, tip the pan and spoon the bacon fat, sizzling hot, over the yolks to cloud them. Serve them straight away or they will go rubbery.

Instead of 4 rashers of smoked back bacon you could use 8 thin rashers, or 4 back and 4 streaky
