Gourmet Breakfast

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the grill/broiler.
2. 2
   Heat a frying pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.
3. 3
   Bring a small pan of water to the boil and then lower to a simmer, keeping covered.
4. 4
   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.
5. 5
   Add the bacon to the pan and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
6. 6
   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.
7. 7
   Poach the egg for about 2 minutes in the simmering water.
8. 8
   Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place on the toasted bread.
9. 9
   Then place the bacon slices, cheese and tomatoes on top.
10. 10
    Place under the grill until the cheese starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
11. 11
    Remove and transfer to a plate with a large spatula.
12. 12
    Sprinkle with salt and pepper and torn basil leaves.
13. 13
    Drizzle with more olive oil.
14. 14
    Enjoy!
