Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Wash and cut the tomatoes into thick slices, 2 to 3 slices per tomato, discard the ends - I usually save them in the fridge for soups and salsas.
Step 2
Cut a knob of butter the size of a walnut and heat it over a medium heat in a non-stick frying pan; when it is hot, add the tomato slices and fry until cooked for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain the tomatoes, and set to one side.
Wipe the pan with some paper towel and add a little more butter.
Step 3
Fry the eggs on the hot butter to taste; meanwhile, toast the bread, butter and then cut in half, length ways, so you have long rectangular halves.
Cut one half into bread fingers, "soldiers".
Step 4
Arrange the salad leaves on a plate and place the 3 pieces of toast on top of the leaves.
Put the cooked tomatoes on top of the toast, and then add the egg to sit on all 3 slices......season with salt and pepper, and scatter the chopped lovage over the top.
Arrange the dipping fingers (soldiers) on the side of the plate and serve immediately.
