- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 slices bread
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp dill
- 4 medium radishes
Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Add 1 sliced red onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pork. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes. Cook until they burst and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- 4
While the ragu simmers, toast 4 slices of bread until golden and crisp.

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack 4 eggs into a small bowl, then slide them into the water. Poach until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Spoon the ragu over the toast. Top each with a poached egg, then garnish with 2 tbsp chopped dill and 4 thinly sliced radishes. Serve immediately.
