Pan-fried bacon with poached egg and balsamic tomatoes

8 ingredients 30 min + 10 min Serves 2 openrecipes

Guess what? You don’t have to give up your bacon and eggs when you’re dieting – just slightly change the way you cook them. Poaching the eggs and dry-frying the bacon saves on fat and the whole dish tastes just as good. Choose good lean back bacon and avoid streaky.
