The Method

5 steps
  1. 1

    Heat a heavy frypan over medium heat — no oil; the bacon will render its own.

  2. 2

    Lay the bacon flat in the dry pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes a side until the fat is golden and the edges are crisp. Move to a warm plate.

  3. 3

    Lay the tomato halves cut-side down in the bacon fat. Cook for 2 minutes until coloured, then flip, season, and cook another minute. Plate them up.

  4. 4

    Crack the eggs into the same pan over medium-low heat. Cook 2-3 minutes for soft yolks; tilt the pan and spoon hot fat over the whites if you like the tops set.

  5. 5

    Toast and butter the bread while the eggs finish. Plate everything together, season the eggs and tomato, and eat immediately.
