For Egg in a Hole
While bacon is cooking, use a cookie cutter to cut a hole in the center of brioche slice. Spread both sides of bread with butter.
Crack an egg and place raw egg in a small bowl. Reserve.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place slice of bread and toast on one side until light golden-brown. Flip with a spatula and carefully place the raw egg in the hole. Allow to cook until it sets, about 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Place on a serving plate.
Toss the tomatoes in the hot skillet with some olive oil just until wilted.
Serve with the egg and brioche and garnish with Arugula. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper.
