pictures don’t do this justice - and frankly, my camera sucks.  Still, picture this, if you will:

toasted sourdough bread

thickly sliced tomatoes at the height of tomato season

a poached egg

a light dressing made of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and a pinch of herbs de Provence (I know, a cheesy shortcut)

Imagine doing the following:

toast the bread, lightly dress it, top with a few slices of tomato, dress those as well, then top with the poached egg.

It was kind of like eating summer on a plate.

The best part?  It was just about the perfect thing to make when it was near 90 degrees outside :)
