Parisian Eggs



I found this is the newspaper. I googled to find other recipes for "Parisian Eggs" and honestly I couldn't find that recipe name out there. However, I've eaten this many times and it is excellent. As a bonus it is quick to make.

Parisian Eggs
Serves 1

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 or 2 strips of bacon
shredded swiss cheese

Directions:
NOTE: You need a skillet that can be put in the oven on broil - no plastic handles!
  1. Pre-heat oven broiler (I use low broil.)
  2. Cook bacon in skillets on medium to medium-high until it becomes opaque but not fully cooked.
  3. Crack 2 eggs over the bacon and cook until whites are just opaque. (no clear parts)
  4. Sprinkle swiss on top of eggs. Be as generous as you like.
  5. Move skillet to oven on broil. Take out in 1-1 1/2 minutes promptly. Cheese should be just lightly browned. If you wait much longer the yellows will get too hard.
  6. Enjoy!
