1 750-ml bottle Beaujolais
1 cup strong beef stock or canned beef broth

Reserve a quarter of the bottle of Beaujolais, and put the rest in a saucepan with the beef stock or broth, the thyme, bay leaf, and chopped onion. Cook over high heat, reducing by three-quarters. Strain mixture.

With a slotted spoon, lift out cooked eggs, placing one on each croute, for two eggs per person. Divide bacon, onions, and mushrooms evenly among the plates, spoon over the red wine sauce, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
