  3. Push bacon1 aside and crack eggs2 into the rendered fat.

Tips

Why it works
Fry the bacon first so the fat renders and gives the pan a nonstick effect for the eggs. If you fry the eggs in a dry pan, they will stick.
Substitutions
Replace the bacon with Doktorskaya sausage (80 g) for a less fatty dish. You can use rye bread, but it will burn faster.
Common mistakes
The eggs get overcooked if the white becomes completely firm. The yolk should stay slightly runny, not rubbery.
Storing and reheating
Eat right away, it doesn't keep. If you cook it in the evening, the white will be dry and bland by morning.
Serve with
Serve with a cup of black coffee or green tea to cut the richness of the bacon.
