- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bake the bacon on a foil-lined baking tray for 12-15 mins, turning halfway, until crisp. Reduce the oven to gas 1, 120°C, fan 100°C, leaving the bacon in to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, boil the broccoli for 4 mins; remove with a slotted spoon. Put 300g in a mixing bowl and set the rest aside. Add the peas to the water and simmer for 3 mins; drain. Add 50g to the bowl with the broccoli and set the rest aside with the reserved broccoli, covering to keep warm.
- Roughly blitz the broccoli and peas in the bowl using a stick blender (or in a food processor). Mix in 1 egg, the flour, cheese and garlic; season.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Divide the fritter mix into 8. Fry in batches, flattening into 1cm-thick discs in the pan, for 5-6 mins each side until golden. Transfer to a baking tray and put in the oven to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, poach 2 eggs in a pan of simmering water for 3 mins or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Serve 2 fritters each, topped with bacon and an egg, and the reserved broccoli and peas alongside.
