Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon, English Peas, Jammy Eggs, and Pickled Red Onions

For those who love their eggs to exist somewhere in the sweet spot between runny and hard, these black eyed peas are a perfect match. Slightly firm but also slightly creamy, they’re wonderful when stirred together with barely blanched but well seasoned English peas, small squares of crispy bacon, and pickled red onions for a bright and texturally satisfying bite. (Frozen peas will also be great.) Should you prefer more of a breakfast “salad,” before adding the eggs you can drizzle and toss the entire mix with olive oil and vinegar for extra brightness and flavor.
