Ingredients
- 110 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 150 g Wine, red
- 20 g Bacon, raw
- 40 g Mushrooms, cremini, raw
- 20 g Shallots, raw

Method
- Simmer the wine with the shallots, bay leaf and broth until reduced by half.

- Mash the butter and flour together and whisk into the reduced wine sauce to thicken slightly; simmer a few minutes, then season and strain if you like a smooth sauce.
- Poach the eggs in a separate pan of water with the vinegar added, for 3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
- Toast the bread, place on a plate, top with the poached eggs, and spoon over the hot wine sauce with the bacon and mushrooms.
- The eggs are only lightly cooked, with a soft yolk; if serving to pregnant women, young children or the elderly, poach until the yolk is fully set.
