Method

Preheat the oven to 150C/Fan 130C/Gas Mark 2. Place the tomatoes cut side up on a baking tray, drizzle over the oil and season. Bake for 35-40mins or until the tomatoes have shrivelled and dried a little.
Fill a large frying pan with salted water and bring to the boil. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water then reduce the heat and cook for 3-5 mins depending how you like your eggs cooked. Lift the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon; drain on kitchen paper. Meanwhile, toast the bagels under a hot grill.
To serve, place the bagels on four plates, top each with the tomatoes, a handful of rocket and a poached egg. Serve straight away.
