Absolutely the best. I do this on the grill outside. I put my bacon on a cookie sheet on the grill. Drain when crisp on a papertowel. Then add eggs one at a time on the cookie sheet until done. Only problem....you get company when they start smelling the wonderful aroma. Breakfast on the grill in northern Minnesota is not a very long season, so we do it on sunny Sunday mornings and the neighbors start coming over...fun way to start the day.

An old family favorite!! I never liked this much, becaue they're too greasy for my taste buds..but members fo my family (dad, mom, grandparents, uncles, aunts) used to make this all the time. So if you like old time greasy dinner breakfast kind of eggs. This is for you. Enjoy.

I applaud allrecipes for posting items like this that the newest of cooks can follow. And I agree, bacon grease is the only way to fry your eggs. I too keep a jar of bacon grease in the fridge for oh-so-many flavorful uses.

Sorry but it is not worth all the extra fat. I would have prefered using butter.

Even though I make 'em like this only a few times a year, I always feel guilty about it... Hence the four stars, though they are five star in taste.

These are the eggs I grew up on. However, I do drain most of the grease from the pan and blot the eggs with a paper towel so they aren't so slimey. My favorites are over medium and dip wheat toast in the yolk or broken with a slice of American cheese melted on top.

The only way I ever cooked fried eggs. I do drain a little of bacon grease, just to avoid all that splatter and popping. I always use my cast iron skillet for these.

bacon fat is the best flavour for eggs. i usually like to scramble the eggs in the fat (more flavour), as well as frying some mushrooms in the fat as well! yummy weekend breakfast

Tasty eggs. I threw in half an onion and a couple cloves of chopped garlic before I added the eggs. I paired these eggs with the Fluffy Canadian Pancakes from this site. It's a good match.

Growing up, whenever we had bacon and eggs, the eggs were fried in the bacon grease. No butter, no margarine, no oil. Bacon grease. In fact, my parents always kept a container of leftover grease in the fridge (cool the grease a little in the pan and pour it into a lidded heat-resistant container) and my siblings and I keep containers of it in our fridges. Bacon grease adds awesome flavour to so many fried things, from mushrooms to pancakes. :) Yeah, it's not so great for you, but sometimes you just gotta go for taste! Thanks for the post, Kirbert70!

This is the only way I was ever taught to have fried eggs, and I really have no desire to check any other methods out. You can always blot the grease from the eggs, that leaves some of the flavor and cuts a little bit of the fat. All I can suggest is wheat bread and a glass of milk to make this one of the most amazing breakfasts ever!

This is the only way to make fried eggs. They just aren't good without the bacon grease. I also cook french toast in bacon grease. Can't eat it every day, but it's a nice weekend treat!!

Yum! Reminds me of my dad. It was the only thing he could cook. When mom wasn't home, you knew this is what you would eat. It didn't matter what time of day or night it was. I try & get most of the grease off with a paper towel. I also only use pepper. A good applewood smoked bacon adds the salt. I also fry extra bacon to use later in broccoli salad or potato soup. Thanks!

I spoon the grease over the egg instead of flipping it until the yolk is the desired doneness. Yum!

My boyfriend really liked the flavor that the bacon juices gave to the eggs, but it was a little *too* hearty for him (and that's saying a LOT). He immediately asked for some vegetables on the side, and I quickly rinsed a few pieces of romaine lettuce for him. He seemed quite satisfied overall. My only complaint is that it is not something you want to serve company. It did not look very appealing, and I'm pretty sure that's why there are no photos posted for this recipe.
