Break 1 egg into a small bowl; hold the bowl so it just touches the simmering water and slide the egg into the water

Quickly repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them about 1 inch apart

Adjust the heat to keep the water at a gentle simmer

Poach until the whites are set and yolks are glazed over but soft, 3 – 5 minutes

About 1 minute before the eggs are done, place 2 muffin halves on each of 4 warmed plates

Top each half with 1 grilled tomato slice and 1 bacon slice

Using a slotted spoon, lift each egg from the simmering water, letting the excess drain into the pan

Trim any ragged edges of egg white with kitchen scissors

Top each muffin half with 1 poached egg,
