Purple sprouting broccoli, bacon and poached egg on toast
A simple start to the day and equally as good without the bacon. The yolk must be runny and the bread must be good and toothsome.

- 6 streaky bacon rashers
- 2 thick slices good bread
- 150g purple sprouting broccoli, cut into small florets
