We call them "Bird in a Nest"! We first saw these when Cher was making them in the movie 'Moonstruck'. We make ours (as they did) with thick sliced Italian bread, buttered on bothe sides. I use real butter to fry them in but I'm sure bacon grease would be just wonderful! I also, as others state, fry the circles to enjoy along side the bird in the nests. Everyone loves these!! :)

I used unsalted butter instead of grease. Easy. Fast. Hot. Yum. I was still hungry after one though, so I had another. This made a great hot breakfast in minutes.

Takes only minutes for a super quick breakfast. I sometimes smother them in chili and shredded cheese for my husband. My teenager makes two and then stacks them on top of each other with a slice of cheese in the middle. Delish!

Delicious and easy for breakfast! Great way to combine your eggs and toast together plus it's a nice departure from the usual scrambled egg. I opted out of cooking this in bacon grease and just used a little melted butter. I waited until the egg was cooked and added a slice of cheese. Great with a side of Canadian bacon and OJ!

Never made it with bacon grease always butter. We called it hole in the bread. I add a slice of cheese as soon as it comes out of the pan and serve it with corned beef hash fried crisp and OJ. Love it. Nice childhood memories.

Just OK as is but I use light spread instead of bacon drippings simply because hubby can't handle the fat content of the baconfat but a fun recipe to make,made this years ago and will try it again soon.

This recipe in Bavaria is called Gast House Eggs. My husbands family taught him and we have this using pumpernickle or rye or any bread at the end of the loaf. Yummmmm. sprinkle with cayene pepper for a kick
