Ingredients

  • smoked back bacon — 4 rashers
  • pork sausages — 4 links
  • large free-range eggs — 4
  • vine tomatoes — 2 large
  • sunflower oil — 1 tbsp

Method

  1. 1

    Place the sausages into a cold frying pan and turn the heat to medium. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 2

    While the sausages cook, cut the tomatoes in half horizontally.

  3. 3

    Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside. Add the sunflower oil to the pan.

  4. 4

    Place the bacon rashers into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy.

  5. 5

    Add the tomato halves to the pan, cut side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and charred.

  6. 6

    Crack the eggs into the pan around the bacon and tomatoes. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with the sausages returned to the plate.

Why this works

The combination of salty, crispy bacon and savoury sausages provides a rich base that is perfectly balanced by the sweet acidity of the warm tomatoes and the creamy, velvety texture of the fried egg yolks.
