Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until dry to the touch and slightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render and bacon browns, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a small bowl, reserving 3 Tbsp. fat.
• Whisk eggs, stock, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. bacon fat in a large bowl. Add bread and gently toss to combine. Add bacon and tomatoes and stir to combine. Let sit until bread has absorbed most of the liquid, about 15 minutes.

Brush surface with remaining 1 Tbsp. bacon fat, turn broiler on, and continue baking until tops of bread are glistening and well toasted, 3-5 minutes more. Garnish with chives, if using, and serve immediately.
• Do Ahead

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes, smashed garlic and 2 of the thyme sprigs into a pot of cold water. Season the water generously with kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and lightly smash (I used a bench scraper). Transfer the potatoes into a bowl and toss with the red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste. Place onto a sheet tray in a single layer and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy. Garnish with the grated Parmesan and chives.
• Toss the sliced tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and kosher salt to taste in a large bowl. Lay the sliced tomatoes onto one half of a sheet tray lined with a rack. Lay 8 bacon strips onto the other half of the sheet tray. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tomatoes and continue cooking the bacon for 10 minutes more.
• Slice the remaining 4 bacon strips into lardons and place into a saute pan. Turn on the heat to medium-low and cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Strain the bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and set aside.
• Fill a large, high-sided pan with water about halfway up. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer until there are almost no bubbles. Add 1/4 cup of the vinegar to the water. Crack the 4 eggs into the water and poach the eggs for about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and gently place the eggs into a bowl of room temperature water to hold until ready to serve.
• Preheat a large saute pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pullman rounds and toast on both sides until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the clarified butter and the reserved bacon fat and set aside. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the shallots, bay leaf, black peppercorns, 2 tablespoons water, the remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs into a small saute pan and turn on the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid has mostly reduced. Turn off the heat, then add 3 to 4 ice cubes and swirl the pan to fully melt and cool down the mixture. Strain the mixture into a large, heat-resistant bowl.
• Add the egg yolks and lemon juice into the bowl and whisk until the yolks are pale yellow and foamy. Set the bowl over the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs vigorously until frothy and fluffy and it starts to thicken slightly. Very slowly, a drop at a time, add the clarified butter and bacon fat mixture while continuing to whisk. Continue to add gradually until the sauce is thickened but still flows-it should coat the back of a spoon. If the bowl gets too hot or the eggs look like they're in danger of scrambling, immediately pull off the bowl from the heat and add an ice cube to cool it down, then return to the heat. Season to taste with kosher salt. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.
• To assemble, lay down a toasted piece of bread and top with two bacon slices, some iceberg lettuce, roasted tomato, a poached egg and a spoonful of the bacon fat hollandaise. Serve alongside the roasted potato hash.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
• Place bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Cut eggs in half lengthwise; place egg yolks in a bowl. Mash yolks with a fork; stir in crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, tomatoes, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange egg white halves on a serving platter; spoon yolk mixture into egg whites. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a baking pan (I use glass) with cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, dash of salt & pepper, and hot pepper sauce to taste (I let the sour cream sit on counter until softened OR blend in food processor with milk and eggs). Set aside.
• Shred cheeses. Combine cheese shreds into one bowl with your hands and then set aside.
• Dice and seed tomatoes (important! the egg bake will be runny if you do not seed tomatoes). Set the tomatoes aside. TIP: if your tomato pieces seem very watery, sprinkle a bit of salt on them to draw out excess liquid (be sure to drain this off before adding to dish)
• Slice about 5 to 6 thin rings off the onion while it's still whole, and set aside, then dice the remainder of the onion.
• Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and turn on heat. Put the diced onions into the pan and sweat them (cook until transparent and a moist). Take onions off the heat.
• In your baking dish, place the bread on the bottom, cutting pieces if necessary, to fit. Sprinkle the bacon bits, tomatoes, diced onion and 1/2 the combined cheese shreds over the bread.
• Pour the egg mixture over all, and top with the sliced rings of onion in a decorative fashion.
• Spray a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to tightly cover dish with a bit of cooking spray (as egg bake will rise and otherwise stick to foil), cover dish tightly with it, and bake for 40-45 mins at 400 F.
• When the timer goes off, remove dish from the oven, and remove foil. The egg bake might still be pretty wet in a small part of the center, and jiggle a bit. This is O.K. Don't attempt to "test" the dish with a toothpick or knife at this point. If you'd like to add some fresh herbs like basil or thyme, you can do so now. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese mixture over the top (over herbs, if added), place back into the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly. The egg bake should tighten up more and stop being "jiggly" at this point. Let sit for about 5-8 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large pot and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Peel the eggs and chop.
• Combine eggs with mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, green onions, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir gently until evenly mixed. Fold in bacon and tomatoes.
• Layer egg salad and lettuce between 2 slices of bread to make each sandwich.
