Step 1
Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F for 12 minutes until blistered.
Step 2
Toast bread slices until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side in a skillet or toaster.
Step 3
Fill a shallow pan with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Water should barely bubble.
Step 4
Crack each egg into a small cup. Gently slide into simmering water and poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Divide toast between plates. Top with roasted tomatoes and a poached egg.
Step 6
Scatter fresh basil over top, squeeze lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
