  1. Cut the bacon into thin slices, trim away the rusty parts, and cut off the rind.
  2. Put it into a cold frying-pan, that is to say, do not place the pan on the fire before the bacon is in it.
  3. Turn it 2 or 3 times, and dish it on a very hot dish.
  4. Poach the eggs and slip them on to the bacon, without breaking the yolks, and serve quickly.
