Eggs on a raft
Now I've no idea where this paticular dish came from. My father used to serve it as breakfast when I was a kid.
First fry up some bacon. I cure and smoke my own, and you will want a bit of the bacon fat for the egg portion. I pour off, and save of course, most of the bacon fat. This bacon is from Charcuterie, as much of my work here is.
There is also a nation wide meat curing wave going on, with several hundred participants. Check here, check The Yummy Mummy, and check Mrs Wheelbarrow. On Twitter check #Charcutepalooza .
Tear holes out of the center of four pieces of bread. My father would have used Wonder, but we have much better breads available to us.
Having melted some butter in with the bacon grease, put the four pieces of bread in a large, hot skillet.
Crack an egg into the hole in each piece.
Flip over to fry the other side, you will probably be adding butter at this point. Salt and pepper as you wish.
Plate and enjoy.
I used to eat those as a kid when we went camping. Something about cooking those over a campfire made them even better.

I would think that would add to it too.

Mmm! I love those. Made them for our kids on special days. Still have them for dinner on occasion when the oook can't come up with anything brilliant.
