Instructions

  1. This dish is prepared in two ways:
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
