How to Make Gourmet Breakfast
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Toast the bread to your desired level of crispness. While toasting, lightly drizzle one side of each slice with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same pan, add the sliced tomatoes. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are softened and slightly caramelized, allowing the bits from the bacon to adhere to the tomatoes.
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Gently crack the egg into the simmering water. Poach for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
- Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and place it on one slice of the toasted bread.
- Top the poached egg with the cooked bacon, cheese, and roasted tomatoes.
- Place the assembled sandwich under the preheated grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Carefully remove the sandwich from the grill using a spatula and transfer to a plate.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves.
- Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
