Warm Bread Salad Crispy Pancetta Parmesan and Poached Egg

This is a Jamie Oliver recipe that's easy to make and delicious!

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 14 MinTotal time: 19 Min

Ingredients

  • 1 Loaf of Ciabatta
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • Sea salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • 12 Slices of Pancetta
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 3 Handfuls of Rocket
  • 1 Oakleaf lettuce or similar
  • 100 g Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas6
  1. Leave the eggs in their shells at this point, as you will need to poach them a bit later on.
  2. Shave the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler and put it to one side.
  3. Peel and slice the garlic. Remove the crusts from the ciabatta and discard.
  4. Tear the bread into finger-sized pieces. Put them on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil, and toss with the garlic and seasoning.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes until the bread is crisp.
  6. Lay the pancetta over the bread and bake for about 5 more minutes, until that's also crispy.
  7. Mix the lemon juice with 8 tablespoons of olive oil and season. Put a big pan of unsalted water on to boil.
  8. In a large bowl, toss the salad leaves, pancetta, bread and the dressing together. Divide between 4 plates.
  9. When the pan is simmering, gently crack the 4 eggs into the simmering water to poach. Simmer for 4 minutes if you like a soft egg, or to your liking.
  10. Place an egg on top of each salad and add the Parmesan shavings.
  11. Serve straight away - Don't let the eggs get cold!

  2. That salad looks good. I really like the thought of the egg yolk running all over the salad.
