Fried Bread: a Very Naughty Breakfast--but oh, so Worth it!
Description
Fried Bread breakfast starts by heating bacon fat in a pan, ideally from nitrate-free, naturally cured bacon or freshly rendered fat from frying bacon. Bread slices and eggs are fried side by side in the hot fat, allowing the bread to absorb flavor as it browns to a golden crispness. The eggs can be cooked to any desired doneness, including frying, soft-boiling, or poaching, offering flexibility.
Seasoned with salt and black pepper, this dish combines savory elements with a robust mouthfeel from the fried bread crust and richness of bacon fat. The bacon fat also adds aroma and complexity. This breakfast favors hearty appetites and makes use of leftover bacon fat efficiently.
Serve the fried bread and egg immediately while hot, accompanied by additional bacon and a hot mug of tea for a traditional and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp bacon fat I use naturally cured, nitrate/nitrite free - or fry 2 rashers of bacon and use the fat, leftover

Instructions
