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
- Leave the eggs in their shells at this point, as you will need to poach them a bit later on.
- Shave the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler and put it to one side.
- Peel and slice the garlic. Remove the crusts from the ciabatta and discard.
- 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.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the bread is crisp.
- Lay the pancetta over the bread and bake for about 5 more minutes, until that's also crispy.
- Mix the lemon juice with 8 tablespoons of olive oil and season. Put a big pan of unsalted water on to boil.
- In a large bowl, toss the salad leaves, pancetta, bread and the dressing together. Divide between 4 plates.
- 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.
- Place an egg on top of each salad and add the Parmesan shavings.
- Serve straight away - Don't let the eggs get cold!

That looks really good Jan! I love salads. I could live on them!
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks good. I really like the thought of the egg yolk running all over the salad.
