Directions

  1. Step 1 Place the pastrami strips on a baking tray and pop it under a hot grill for 2 minutes on either side until it begins to crisp up slightly. Then remove from the grill and preheat the oven to 180c.

  1. Step 2 Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat and add the chopped shallots. Allow to sweat down, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes and softened. Grate in the garlic and cook for a further minute.

  1. Step 3 Stir in the chorizo jam and cook out for a few minutes. Add the cannellini beans and halved cherry tomatoes to the pan. Stir gently to combine.

  1. Step 4 Pour in the passata and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season well with salt and pepper to taste. Lie the pastrami over the tomato sauce.

  1. Step 5 Make four small wells in the sauce and carefully crack one egg into each well. Place the frying pan in the oven for 10 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  1. Step 6 To finish the dish, grate the Comte cheese over the eggs and sauce and let it melt for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and add a squeeze of lemon. Finally, sprinkle sea salt over.

  1. Step 7 Serve with hot toasted sourdough, rubbed down with fresh garlic if liked.
