Homestead Eggs

Homestead Eggs are great for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Onion, apple & bacon fried in butter with eggs cooked on top sounds like an odd combination, but it works!

Ingredients

  • 20 g butter
  • 1 rasher smoked streaky bacon cut into small strips
  • 1 medium onion skinned, halved, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium apple cored, halved, cut into medium thick slices
  • salt & black pepper to taste
  • chopped parsley to taste optional

Instructions

  1. Put the butter and bacon in a small, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Stir and cook for 2 min.

  2. Add the onion and cook for 2 min more.

  3. Add the apple, season everything with a little salt and plenty of black pepper.

  4. Stir, then cook until the onion is soft and everything is starting to brown a little (approx 6 min)

  5. Stir in the chopped parsley if using, turn the heat to low, then crack in the eggs.

  6. Put a lid on the pan and cook until the eggs are done to your liking (3-5 min).

    Serve immediately, with more chopped parsley sprinkled over if liked.
