# Bacon and eggs with the owner's fresh eggs

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Somerset Region, Queensland

Eggs fresh from the farm owner's hens, fried in an iron pan alongside bacon. An old sign in the kitchen reads "Fresh eggs, 25 cents a dozen," a reminder of the days when this house sold its eggs. The yolks were deep in colour and rich in flavour. I ate them for breakfast with a glass of berries.

## Ingredients

- Fresh eggs
- Bacon

## How I made it

1. Fry the bacon in an iron pan
2. Crack the eggs into the bacon fat and fry them sunny side up

## This moment in the journey: Bacon and eggs from the owner's hens

Morning in a country town in Australia. The owner gave me some eggs fresh from the hens, so I cooked them the simplest way, with bacon. I fried the bacon in an iron pan and cracked the eggs into the fat.

A black wood stove still stands in the corrugated-iron kitchen. I ate breakfast in the wood-panelled room, with a glass of berries on the side and a view of the sheds through the window. The eggs were rich and really good.

Beyond the rocking chair at the door, the morning pasture stretched away. On a shelf sat an old sewing machine.
