Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until softened and deepened in color. Place the arugula on both halves of the bread. Now it’s time to poach the eggs. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and immediately reduce to a low boil or simmer. Add the vinegar and delicately crack one egg into the water, let it cook for about 1 minute. Remove with a large, holed spoon. Repeat with the other egg. Place each egg as delicately as possible onto the bed of arugula, careful not to crack the yolk. Add 1 tomato slice atop each egg, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
