HOW TO COOK BACON IN THE OVEN | LARGE FAMILY STYLE
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cover parchment paper with bacon strips. Place baking sheet in oven at 400F for 30-minutes (most recipes say 15 minutes, but we like our bacon crispy.)
ADD SOME SCRAMBLED EGGS
While the bacon is cooking, you can cook the eggs. Cook about two per person. (We use a dozen will do for 7 people.)
After the bacon was cooked, the oven can be turned off and the bacon and eggs (in an oven-proof casserole dish) can be left in the oven so that it can stay warm as family members who get up at different times can get up and self serve their breakfast when they want it.) You can throw on some shredded cheese to melt on top in the oven, if you want them to be extra special.
OR, EASY OVER EGGS, LARGE FAMILY STYLE
Preheat a cookie sheet the oven to 425F. If you are cooking the bacon at the same time, you can cook them both at 425F. While the oven heats, place several pats of butter or margarine around the pan (or you could use cooking spray). Then place the baking pan in the oven with the pats of butter to melt for about one minute.
Next, pull the baking pan back out of the oven and cracked your eggs (we use a dozen but you can fit 13-14 eggs per pan). Place the egg pan back in the oven for 7 minutes for easy over. For firm yolks, leave the pan in for two minutes more.
TOAST
Now, start toasting the bread. To toast several slices at once, place an oven rack in the middle position. Now place a second rack so that it is only a couple inches below the first one. Place a sheet pan on the lower if the two racks and heat oven to 450 F. Now, place bread slices between the bars of the upper oven rack, so that they are standing up. Bake until toasted to the brownness you prefer.

Serve with the eggs and bacon with the toast, fresh fruit, coffee, orange juice and ketchup for scrambled eggs if desired.
CLEAN UP
Cleanup for the bacon pan is easy because the parchment paper is just rolled right up and put in the trash. The baking tray is just lightly washed and put away.
The egg pan may need a bit of soaking with a little dish soap in hot water while you do the rest of the dishes. When it comes time to wash the pan, everything should come right off. There might be a little crusting around the edges, but the middle should be a snap to clean.
