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.
Step 2
Add 1 sliced red onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pork. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
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.
Step 4
While the ragu simmers, toast 4 slices of bread until golden and crisp.
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.
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.
Step 7
Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
