This recipe combines the rich, savory flavors of crispy bacon and juicy tomatoes with perfectly poached eggs, creating a satisfying and nutritious meal.

Ingredients:

2 tomatoes
360g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
4 bacon strips
50g
2 eggs
90g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Rinse the tomatoes under cool water and pat them dry. Cut each tomato into thick slices.
- Have your black pepper, salt, bacon strips, and eggs ready for cooking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- In a medium skillet, place the bacon strips in a single layer.
- Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.
3. Sauté the Tomatoes:
- Use the same skillet with the bacon drippings still in it to add extra flavor to the tomatoes. If you prefer a lighter dish, you can drain some of the bacon grease before adding the tomatoes.
- Place the tomato slices in the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are slightly caramelized and tender.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes while cooking.
- Once done, transfer the tomatoes to serving plates.
4. Poach the Eggs:
- Fill a medium saucepan with water, leaving about 2 inches from the top, and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. It's helpful to do this step one egg at a time.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk more neatly.
- Gently slide the first egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg.
- Cook each egg for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer the yolk more set.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water, allowing any excess water to drain off.
5. Assemble the Dish:
- Place the poached eggs on the plates next to the sautéed tomatoes.
- Add the crispy bacon strips alongside.
- Sprinkle a dash more of black pepper over the entire dish for added flavor, if desired.
6. Serve Immediately:
- Your poached eggs with bacon and tomatoes are best enjoyed hot. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and perfectly poached eggs.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.

- Choose high-quality bacon for a rich, savory taste.

- To make poaching easier, crack each egg into a small bowl before gently sliding it into the water.

- Add a splash of vinegar to the poaching water to help the eggs hold their shape.

- Carefully monitor the poaching time to ensure the yolks remain runny.

- Serve the dish immediately for the best taste and texture.
