Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch lardons
Extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 large beefsteak tomato, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 sprigs of fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of cayenne (optional)
Kosher salt
8 slices tight-crumbed white bread
11/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
1 bunch of fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • For the filling: Toss the bacon into a large saute pan with a few drops of olive oil. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and season with salt and the crushed red pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the tomato, season with more salt, and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and mushy and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano and let cool.
  • For the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • In a wide, flat dish, combine the eggs, milk, cayenne (if using), and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
  • Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Using half the Gruyere, sprinkle each piece of bread lightly with cheese. Spoon a quarter of the bacon filling onto each piece of bread and then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each slice with another piece of bread and press to secure.
  • Working in batches, soak each "toast" in the egg mixture for about 1 minute; flip and soak the other side.
  • While the toasts are soaking, coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to medium heat.
  • Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the toasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The toasts should be golden brown, lovely, and crisp-YUM! Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • For the fried eggs and assembly:
  • Coat a large nonstick saute pan lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook them until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the toasts from the oven and top each with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle with chives if you like and serve immediately.

BACON-ONION JAM



Bacon-Onion Jam image

Here is a shockingly good accompaniment to chicken-liver pâté that came to The Times from the kitchen of the Fort Defiance in Brooklyn. But don't think that is its only use. Bacon-onion jam is also a terrific sandwich condiment. Paired with crumbled blue cheese, it's a fantastic topping for a serious, grown-up pizza pie. And because the recipe makes a lot of jam, all three options are possible. One note: Take your time. The point is to cook the mixture until it has achieved full jamminess. The onions should really caramelize. Covered, it will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound slab bacon, diced into cubes
4 medium-size white or Spanish onions, peeled and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is completely rendered and the bacon has started to crisp, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot, and add the onions, mustard seed, brown sugar, vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine, then cover the pot, lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for 15 or 20 minutes. Remove the top, stir again and then partly cover the pot. Allow the mixture to cook until most of the liquid is gone and the onions have achieved a dark brown jamminess, approximately 60 to 70 minutes. (Add a little more water as needed.)
  • Taste the jam, and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Remove mixture from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Spoon the jam into a jar or bowl, then allow to cool completely. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
