Breakfast: Red Onion and Cherry Tomatoes on Toast with Poached Egg and Rocket

This is our classic breakfast.  Usually made in pyjamas with a cup of coffee in hand, this always sets us up for a good weekend.

We’ve dubbed this combo ‘sexy tomatoes’.  We often bulk it out with sausages, bacon, mushrooms and a variety of other breakfast type additions but this is a constant base.

We use free range woodland eggs from Sainsbury’s, they’re a little bit more expensive than other free range eggs but have beautiful golden yolks.  Definitely worth the extra for the delight that cutting into these perfect yellow yolks brings us.
