Fried Eggs with Bacon

Break a dozen eggs separately in cups being careful not to damage the yolks Put into a fryingpan some slices of fat bacon, fry them, take them out, boil the fat, put in the eggs one at a time so they will be able to be taken apart and fry them well but not to be too much done. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over and place on some slices of bacon on a dish; or if preferred, they may be put in the center of a dish and the slices of bacon put around as a garnish. Should there not be enough fat in the pan, add more. Although this is a very ordinary dish, much care should be taken in preparing.
