This post was written in 2008 it's now 2018 and I'm in the middle of updating my blog. I really must make this again to get a better picture; this one is just dreadful!

Warm Bread Salad Crispy Pancetta Parmesan and Poached Egg
Posh looking salad by Jamie Oliver
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 Lettuce (Oak leaf lettuce looks nice)100 g Parmesan Cheese
instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas6.
Leave the eggs in their shells at this point (you will need to poach them later on).
Shave the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler and put 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.
