Ingredients

Method

In large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel–lined plate. Chop bacon; set aside.

Drain all but 1 tsp fat from pan; cook shallots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in peas, 3 tbsp water and goat cheese; cook until peas are heated through and almost no liquid remains, about 5 minutes.

Scrape into bowl; using fork, mash until most of the peas are broken down. Stir in lemon juice, and half each of the salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, arrange bread on rimmed baking sheet; bake in 400 F (200 C) oven until crusty and light golden, about 5 minutes. Rub tops with cut sides of garlic; divide pea mixture over top. Sprinkle with bacon; keep warm.

Wipe out pan; add oil and heat over medium heat. Cook eggs until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Serve over pea mixture on toast.
