Poached eggs with tomato and chilli de árbol

So when you think of Mexican breakfasts, poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread doesn’t usually come to mind. However, as a British man living in Mexico, there comes a point when scrambled eggs and tortillas need to be swapped for poached eggs and sourdough (don’t tell the Mexicans that!)

The addition of the slightly spicy tomato and chilli de árbol sauce takes basic poached eggs on toast to a whole other level.
