Here I’ll share with you some simple tips and tricks to making the perfect fried egg on toast!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Egg on toast comes in many a formation, but arguably none more delicious than the classic fried egg on toast. A simple dish it may be, there are certainly some simple ways to turn it up a few notches. Follow me…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh, come on. Is it even legal to have fried egg and toast without bacon?! All jokes aside, the bacon actually plays an important role in this recipe.<\/p>\n By frying the bacon low and slow, you’ll render down all the fat. Doing this will not only leave you with gorgeously crispy bacon, but the excess fat in the pan is what you’ll use to fry the eggs and bread (more on this in just a sec).<\/p>\n In the UK you’re looking for streaky bacon (which I guess in the US is regular bacon). This tends to have more fat than back bacon, and the more fat the better for this recipe. Plus, streaky bacon is typically skinnier than back bacon, meaning you still get all the flavour, but without it overshadowing the fried egg, which realistically is the star of the show.<\/p>\n Process shots: add bacon to pan (photo 1), fry over low-medium until crisp with the fat rendered (photo 2).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Admittedly fried eggs are tricky to mess up, but there are a few tips to help you get the perfect fried egg.<\/p>\n I do recommend it, just because runny egg yolk is life. But you could have them over easy, medium or hard if you’d prefer. I\u2019ve added a section on that in the recipe card.<\/p>\n Process shots: remove bacon and increase heat (photo 1), crack in eggs (photo 2), add butter (photo 3), baste egg whites (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the pan and leave all the butter and bacon grease behind. That stuff is now officially liquid gold. From there, you can toast the bread in the pan to soak up all that goodness.<\/p>\n I usually go for a loaf of Artisan style bread. Sourdough also works nicely too. I don’t recommend soft sandwich bread for this recipe; invest in a good quality loaf to create the best edible platform for your egg 🙂<\/p>\n Process shots: add bread to pan (photo 1), toast both sides (photo 2).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alrighty, bacon, egg and toast are all done and dusted, just two more ingredients to discuss:<\/p>\n Process shots: spread toast with chilli jam (photo 1), add bacon (photo 2), add egg (photo 3), season then sprinkle with chives (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I usually whip this up for Brunch<\/a> on the weekend. It’s perfect as it is, but if you wanted to take things up a notch you could serve with Hash Browns<\/a> or Breakfast Potatoes<\/a>!<\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this fried egg on toast shall we!?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nEgg and Bacon on Toast<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
