Instructions
-
Heat the Griddle: Begin by heating a ridged griddle pan over medium heat. This will allow you to create beautiful grill marks on your tomatoes and bread.
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Lightly brush the sliced plum tomato and your choice of bread with olive oil. This not only enhances the flavor but also helps in achieving that perfect golden crust.
-
Grill the Tomatoes: Once the griddle is hot, place the oiled tomato slices on the pan. Cook them for at least 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and develop a lovely char.
-
Toast the Bread: When the tomatoes are nearing completion, add the oiled bread to the same pan. Toast it until it is well-marked with grill lines and has achieved a delightful crispiness.
-
Fry the Eggs: Meanwhile, pour a little olive oil into a small frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and allow them to set for about a minute.
-
Add Flavors: Once the eggs have set slightly, add the finely chopped garlic and a pinch of chili flakes to the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes, spooning the hot oil over the eggs to cook them to your desired doneness.
-
Assemble the Dish: On a serving plate, lay down the griddled bread. Quickly spoon the grilled tomatoes on top, creating a colorful and appetizing base.
-
Finish with Chives and Balsamic: Toss the chopped chives into the egg pan and splash in the balsamic vinegar, stirring briefly to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Complete the Presentation: Gently slide the fried eggs onto the tomatoes, allowing the vibrant yolks to cascade over the dish. Drizzle any remaining pan juices on top for added flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: This dish is best served immediately while still warm, alongside a good cup of tea or your preferred beverage, perfect for a relaxed brunch experience.
