Method

Brush a non-stick frying pan with sunflower oil and heat over a medium setting.

Add bacon to the pan and fry for 2 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other.

Fill a saucepan halfway with water, add white wine vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer.

Crack eggs one at a time into the simmering water and cook for 2.5 minutes.

Add halved tomatoes to the bacon pan, season with pepper, and cook for 1 minute.

Arrange a pile of watercress on each plate and top with bacon and tomatoes.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, top with poached eggs, and season more if desired.
