the most tasty way to cook an egg is in the chip pan after you have removed the chips ...

This need a few answers before you have your nightcap .

Do you crack the egg on the chip pan , or in a dish and then put then in the pan ?

Do you leave the metal mesh holder in the pan or take it out while the egg is frying  ?

If you take it out then how do you get the fried egg out ?

 Do you drain the oil off the end product , or do you use lard ?

And do the eggs make any difference to the contents in the pan .

All sensible questions as that is something I have never tried .

1. without basket
2. long spoon
3. put on a piece of kitchen paper towl
4. let the oil cool a bit before you add the egg
5. it will bubble&squeak a bit...wait until it goes a little crispy at the edge..then remove
6. just crack the egg  close to the oil so it dont splash

THANKS for update , not sure if I am brave enough to give it try for fear of burning my house down  , maybe a silly question , do the egg float on the surface straight away when it enter the pan ?  MM

Can't beat a plate of beans and sausage, allthough I did burn the bacon and toast. 

That looks good to me. Exactly how I like my bacon

Probably not needed these days, but my mother always cracked an egg onto a saucer first incase it was bad.

Yes and it made it easy to just slide in to the pan off the saucer.

@harrycatcat1's original question rather passes me by as I can't eat eggs, so it would have definitely been a 'yes' to have a few beans to keep the chips company - or they would have been lonely.

Beans usually have a place for me, especially as part of a breakfast.
