Ingredients
- 6 bread toasted, thick cut slices
- 6 piece Bacon torn into smaller pieces, crispy cooked
- 1 recipe basil vinaigrette
- 1 recipe tomato confit
- 6 egg
- olive oil for frying eggs
Instructions
For the Fried Eggs
- Heat your skillet over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Once the olive oil starts to shimmer you're ready to go.
- Carefully crack the egg into the skillet.
- Let the egg start to cook, gently tilting the pan occasionally to pool the oil, and baste the egg white with the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes for runny yolks or 3 minutes for medium yolks.
- Transfer the crispy fried egg to a baking sheet once the egg whites are set and season with salt and pepper. Repeat as needed.

To Assemble
- Slather a few tablespoons of the confit on each piece of bread. Drizzle with the basil vinaigrette.
- Top with a fried egg and sprinkle the bacon on top. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chives if desired.
Notes
- Using a well-seasoned cast iron skillet enhances the eggs with a crispy edge and better heat retention.
- Fry no more than two eggs at once to maintain even cooking and focus.
- Cook eggs about 2 to 3 minutes depending on desired yolk doneness—runny or medium.
- Assemble and serve the sandwiches promptly to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
