Eggs in a Bacon Wreath

“Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have… I’m worried what you just heard was, ‘Give me a lot of bacon and eggs.” What I said was, “Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.’ Do you understand?”

Serves: 1, if it’s for Ron, 6-8 for those with less hearty appetites.

Prep time: 25 minutes to cook the bacon in the oven, 6 hours to braid the bacon into a wreath, but well worth it

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bacon
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper


Directions

  1. Using a thin-cut bacon, take three slices and braid them into one thicker piece of bacon.
  2. Do this 7 more times, until you have enough bacon to create a wreath large enough to encircle a dozen fried eggs.

  3. Painstakingly join sections of bacon together so they appear to be seamless, creating one long braid of bacon to be formed into a wreath on a large baking sheet. (Good luck with this.)

  4. Bake bacon in 450 degree oven until done, 25-30 minutes. Cook one dozen eggs (sunny side up) in melted butter in an iron skillet – just like the skillets our forefathers used.

  5. Slide eggs effortlessly onto a large round platter and surround with bacon wreath. Salt heavily and serve immediately with extra toast and butter.
