Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the bacon slices with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Braised Tomato

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft and saucy, about 10 minutes. Stir in fresh basil at the end.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  4. 4

    Make the Herb Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the ciabatta and toast lightly. On each slice, layer the grilled bacon, spoon over the braised tomatoes, top with a poached egg, and finish with a handful of herb salad.
