Method
- To make the dressing, mix 1 tbsp oil with 1 tsp vinegar, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp. Remove and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Meanwhile, for the poached egg, bring a pan of water to the boil. Add 1 tsp vinegar and gently swirl the water around the pan to make a whirlpool. Crack the egg into the middle of the whirlpool and simmer for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the egg with a slotted spoon.
- To serve, toss the rocket leaves with the bacon, onion, tomato and dressing and top with the poached egg.
