Step 1
Arrange one oven rack six inches from broiler and the other below, about 12 inches from the broiler; warm up. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatillos and jalapeño in oil and a pinch of salt. Grind on the surface until smooth and brown in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Put in a blender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the second sheet of water. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese, leaving a little space in the middle. Top each with an egg (the cheese should prevent the egg from falling out of the tortilla). broil on middle rack to desire doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for runny yolks.
Step 3
Add cilantro, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the vegetables in a blender and puree until smooth. Serve salsa over tacos with bacon and radishes if desired.
