fried and poached (fp) egg

The "fried an poached egg" is prepared by cooking bacon in a small frying pan in hot vegetable oil, removing the bacon and placing on toast, then half-frying the egg in the bacon and oil fat and then adding boiling water to poach it. The advantage is that the fat is washed off, and the white of the egg is contained (unlike a poached egg) and also the yolk can be made almost hard so that it does not drip out of the toastie.
