Poached egg, bacon, roasted tomatoes and wild rocket on toast |
This sounds complicated but with the right preparation this will be done in no time - ideal for a weekend treat.
This biggest job here is the roasted tomatoes. You need a handful of small tomatoes cut into halves, brushed with oil and sprinkled with salt. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 60 minutes at 160 degrees. Bake longer if a drier texture is needed. Alternatively bottled sun-dried tomatoes in oil can be used, but I find that they are a bit drier or sometimes have a very sour taste that can be overpowering. But it is up to personal choice and time limitations.

Now all that's left to do is to grill the bacon and toast the slice of bread. I spread some mayonnaise on the toast because I think it compliments the flavour of the runny egg yolk. Top the toast with the bacon, poached egg, roasted tomatoes and then top it with wild rocket and black pepper, no need for salt. The wild rocket is way more spicy than their domesticated cousin, so try and get some of those. I'm lucky enough that I have wild rocket growing as a weed in my garden. Lovely! Buon Appetito! Breakfast will never be the same again after you've tasted this. Now go and treat someone close to your heart this weekend with this lovely breakfast.
