Ingredients
- 3 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
- 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar
- 1 slice of sourdough, thick cut
- 20 g of rocket leaves
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp of chilli jam
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and diced (optional)
Method
Step 1
Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the bacon rashers – no need to add oil. Fry for 6-7 mins, turning often.Step 2
In the meantime, bring a large pan of water to simmer and add the vinegar. Crack the egg into a cup. Carefully stir the water to create a vortex in the middle, then slide the egg into the water at the edge of the pan and the spinning water should pull it round and into the middle. Cook for 3½ mins for a runny egg.Step 3
Toast the bread while you wait and when done spread the chilli jam over it. Lay the crispy bacon on top, followed by some rocket.Step 4
Lift out the poached egg with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and pop it on top of the rocket.Step 5
Sprinkle over a little chilli and season to taste.
