Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
