Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Divide the onions, carrots, bacon and rosemary equally between two large pans, and cook over a low heat to release the bacon fat and soften the onion and carrot a little.
  2. Add the red wine to one pan and the white wine to the other.
  3. Bring both pans to the boil, then simmer over a low heat until the liquid is greatly reduced to about half of its original volume.
  4. Make a paste out of the butter and flour, and whisk pinches of it into each pan, to thicken further. Continue to simmer for a few minutes, then taste the sauces and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper if desired (it is unlikely to need salt, because of the bacon and the reduction, but everyone has different tastes, so please let your own tastebuds lead the way).
  5. When the sauce is ready, poach the eggs in water (with a splash of vinegar, if you prefer) so that the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Drain well.
  6. Meanwhile, toast the bread on both sides, then arrange two slices on each of four warmed plates. Rub the uppermost side of each slice lightly with the cut clove of garlic, then top each slice with a poached egg. Over one egg on each plate, pour some of the red wine sauce with a sprinkling of its vegetables and bacon, and over the other pour some of the white wine sauce with a sprinkling of its vegetables and bacon. Serve immediately.
  7. Alternative serving presentation - put each poached egg into a separate ramekin (warmed in advance), pour the wine sauces on top (half with red and half with white, each sprinkled with some of the vegetables and bacon). Serve two ramekins to each person, with the toast (minus the garlic) on the side.
