directions

- Transfer the bacon to a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the brown sugar; reserve the fat.
- Broil the bacon until the sugar melts, about 1 minute.

- In a large bowl, combine the onion, vinegar and olive oil.

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the romaine and toss.
- Arrange the salad on 4 plates and crumble the reserved bacon on top.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil until toasted on one side.
- Flip, then top each with cheese.
- Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling.
- Cut into narrow wedges and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Heat the skillet with the remaining bacon fat over medium-high heat.
- Fry the eggs until the white are opaque and yolks are still runny. (If you prefer your eggs differently you can do it that way).
- Place 1 egg sunny-side up on each portion of salad.
- Serve with the cheese toasts.

<p>I live in Minnesota (brr) and enjoy cooking, reading, and relaxing. My real name is Brianna so feel free to call me by that name. I have just finished my first year of college. Looking forward to cooking over the summer :)</p>
<p>Also, if you were wondering about my username that is because whenever I sign up for a site that requires a username this is what I would use (since it is unique and when I first came up with it I was reading Tom Sawyer). I guess I could change it but I haven't.</p>
