Paper Bag Bacon and Eggs Recipe

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 2-4 pieces of bacon, cut in half
  • 1 lunch paper bag
  • 1 long stick (to use as a handle)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Grease the inside of the paper bag with a piece of uncooked bacon. Throughly coat the bottom and sides of the bag with bacon grease.
  • Line your bacon on the bottom of the bag. Overlap the bacon pieces to ensure the entire bottom of the paper bag is covered.
  • Gently crack two eggs into the bag, over the bacon, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
  • Fold the top of the lunch bag over a couple of times.
  • Using a knife or a sharp stick, gently poke a hold through the folded bag. Slide the stick through the hole so you can use it as a handle.
  • Carefully lift the paper bag off the table and gently place it directly on the bed of coals.
  • The grease from the bacon is SUPPOSE to protect the bag from going up in flames. If the bag seems fine, let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the egg is cooked to your preference.

Notes

If your paper bags start catching fire, quickly lift the bags off the coals, using the stick handle. Blow vigorously on the bag to put out the flame.
If you don't want to chance your breakfast being burnt to a crisp, use the stick handle and hover the paper bag a couple inches over the hot coals. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking.
Bring extra bacon and eggs encase your experimental breakfast goes up in smoke. HA!
