Ingredients

  • 6 thick cut slices of bread, toasted
  • 6 piece crispy cooked bacon, torn into smaller pieces
  • 1 recipe basil vinaigrette
  • 1 recipe tomato confit
  • 6 eggs
  • olive oil for frying eggs

Instructions

For the Fried Eggs

  • Heat your skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Once the olive oil starts to shimmer you're ready to go.
  • Carefully crack the egg into the skillet.
  • Let the egg start to cook, gently tilting the pan occasionally to pool the oil, and baste the egg white with the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes for runny yolks or 3 minutes for medium yolks.
  • Transfer the crispy fried egg to a baking sheet once the egg whites are set and season with salt and pepper. Repeat as needed.

To Assemble

  • Slather a few tablespoons of the confit on each piece of bread. Drizzle with the basil vinaigrette.
  • Top with a fried egg and sprinkle the bacon on top. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chives if desired. 

Notes

Q: What skillet do you use for fried eggs
I use a really well seasoned cast iron skillet – it gives the eggs that gorgeous crispy outline and it’s non-toxic and retains heat better than all other pans.
Q: How many eggs can you fry at once:
Never more than 2! You want to be able to keep your eyes on them and they cook fairly quickly so keeping it at 2 eggs per batch is best.
Q: How long does it take to fry an egg
A: roughly 3 minut
