Eranest Hemingwayの短編The Battlerの中に出てきた料理をしている場面です。
Into a skillet he was laying slices of ham. As the skillet grew hot the grease sputtered and Bugs, crouching on long nigger legs over the fire, turned the ham and broke eggs into the skillet, tipping it from side to baste the eggs with the hot fat.
ここの "baste" は料理用語のようで、skilletを傾けて卵を脂で "baste" したとあるので、結局は卵に脂をかけた意味だと思いますが、辞書で確認します。
・Collins Dictionary: to moisten (meat) during cooking with hot fat and the juices produced: Cook under moderate heat, turning regularly and baste with marinade.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: to pour hot fat and liquid over meat while it is cooking: Baste the turkey at regular intervals.
西洋料理の基本の一つでしょうね。
