Instructions

  1. Step 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. Step 2

    Add 1 sliced red onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pork. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    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. Step 4

    While the ragu simmers, toast 4 slices of bread until golden and crisp.

  5. Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

    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.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
