Steamed Bacon with Egg

This is the first meal I cooked after we came back from our Tokyo trip. Bought 2 packs of Japanese bacon from a convenient store while waiting for our train at Narita city. The bacon is pretty mild compared to our local ones. Made these steamed egg for breakfast this morning, after merely 4 hours of sleep. Nothing much left in the fridge, except some mushrooms and few strips of spring onion. I also bought a small box of cherry tomatoes from a mini mart at Narita city. So I added some to the eggs. Something very simple and comforting for a quick breakfast.

I used a flat frying pan to steam the eggs. With a glass lid I could monitor the cooking progress. My family like the egg a little soft and runny, so I cook it under very low flame.

1. Oil ramekins with olive oil, line bacon at the base ,and crack eggs into ramekins.
