Gourmet Breakfast Recipes

GOURMET BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Preheat the grill/broiler.
• Heat a frying pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.
• Bring a small pan of water to the boil and then lower to a simmer, keeping covered.
• While the pan is heating and the water is coming to the boil, toast the bread (in toaster) and place on a foil-lined pan and drizzle with a bit of the olive oil.
• Add the bacon to the pan and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
• Add the slices of tomato to the pan and fry on each side 2-3 minutes until you get that nice roasted look with the bits from the pan on them.
• Poach the egg for about 2 minutes in the simmering water.
• Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place on the toasted bread.
• Then place the bacon slices, cheese and tomatoes on top.
• Place under the grill until the cheese starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Remove and transfer to a plate with a large spatula.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper and torn basil leaves.
• Drizzle with more olive oil.
• Enjoy!
