    Ingredients

    • 8 very fresh Large eggs
    • 2 shallots
    • 3½ ounce (100 g) unsmoked slab bacon
    • 3 c. (75 cl) red wine with a high tannin content (red Burgundy or possibly Syrah)
    • 1 c. (25 cl) chicken stock
    • ½ c. (125 g) butter
    • 4 slices country bread
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 2 tbsp wine vinegar
    • 2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
    • Salt, pepper

    Directions

    1. Remove the rind from the bacon and cut into small pcs
    2. Peel and finely chop the shallots
    3. Peel the 2 garlic cloves and cut them lengthways
    4. Remove the parsley leaves and chop finely
    5. Heat 2 tbsp (30 g) butter in a skillet over a low heat
    6. Add in the minced shallots and the bacon
    7. Soften without browning for 10 min
    8. Add in the stock and 2 c. (50 cl) of red wine
    9. Reduce by 2/3 over a low heat
    10. Just before serving, add in the minced parsley and whisk in the rest of the softened butter
    11. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper
    12. Bring 1 qt (1 liter) water, 1 c. (25 cl) wine and the vinegar to boil in a large saucepan
    13. Break each egg separately into a bowl
    14. Carefully place 1 egg into the boiling water and let it poach for 3-4 min. To avoid leaving too many strands of egg white in the pan, you can use a wooden spoon to stir circles in the water and make it swirl. Which way the egg will stay in one piece in the middle of the water
    15. Remove the egg and drain it on a paper towel
    16. Repeat these steps for each of the Large eggs
    17. Toast the slices of bread and rub them with garlic
    18. Put 2 poached Large eggs on top and cover the Large eggs with the red wine sauce
