Campfire Bacon and Eggs

Prepare campfire or charcoal grill. Let the flames die down and coals are covered with ash.  Lay 2 bacon halves across the bottom of a lunch size brown paper bag so that its completely covered.  Reach into the bag and gently crack the egg over the bacon.  Season with salt and pepper. Securely fold down the the top of the bag three times and poke a hole through the fold with a sharp knife.  Thread a long green stick through the hole and hold the bag so that that the bottom is as close to the hot embers as possible- but w/o touching them.  Cook for 10 minutes, until the egg white is cooked through.  Each person should have their own lunch bag for this.

NB:  Do not let the bag be anywhere near an open flame and do not attempt this on a gas grill.  The bacon fat protects the paper from burning and steams the egg.  This is from a Girl Scout camp.  You can do it with scrambled eggs as well.
