Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- bacon slices
- butter
Instructions
- This dish is prepared in two ways:
- Method 1: Heat butter in a skillet and sauté the bacon slices until golden. Arrange them in a serving dish with some of their rendered fat. Crack the eggs directly over the bacon and cook in the usual manner for eggs sur le plat (baked in the dish).
- Method 2 (English Method): Grill the bacon slices until crisp and arrange them on either side of the eggs. Cook the eggs in a skillet, trim them with a round cutter if desired, and slide them onto a plate with the bacon.
