Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut the pastry into a large heart shape, about 30 x 30cm. (Remove and save the excess pastry for another recipe.) Using a sharp knife, score a line 1cm from the edge to create a border, then transfer to a nonstick baking sheet.
  2. Mix the crème fraîche and the egg yolks in a bowl; season. Spoon onto the pastry, being careful not to go over the border. Arrange the bacon and the tomatoes in the heart, leaving a gap in the middle for the eggs. Scatter with the parsley. 
  3. Beat 1 egg, then brush the pastry border with it. Bake on the middle shelf for 18 mins until lightly golden, then crack the remaining eggs into the centre. Bake for a further 10-12 mins until the pastry is deep golden and the eggs are cooked. Scatter with the basil leaves to serve.
