WARM BREAD SALAD OF CRISPY PANCETTA, PARMESAN AND POACHED EGG
This is a Jamie Oliver Recipe for a really tasty and 'posh' looking salad. You will want about 3 large handfuls of rocket. The lettuce should be Oak leaf lettuce if you can get it. But you can use any salad leaves you like. The pancetta must be thinly sliced, or you can use thin sliced dry-cured smoked streaky bacon.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in white wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until wine is absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup broth, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Working in batches, continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring until all broth is absorbed. When done, rice should be tender and creamy. (Step 2 should take 20 to 25 minutes total.)
- Stir Parmesan cheese, pesto, 1/4 cup parsley, and 1 tablespoon vinegar into the risotto. Keep warm.
- Combine beans, tomatoes, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium heat, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, bring 4 cups water and the remaining vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break an egg into a custard cup. Hold the lip of the cup close to water and slip egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to remove from skillet.
- Serve risotto topped with tomato-bean mixture, poached eggs, and remaining parsley. Sprinkle with pepper.

Steps:
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and pancetta to a skillet; cook over medium heat until pancetta is crisp.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove pancetta to paper towels to drain; set aside.
- Make salad dressing: combine the olive oil, vinegars, garlic, shallot, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
- Poach the eggs: use your preferred method or as follows-bring enough water to cover whole (unshelled) eggs to boil in a small saucepan; gently lower eggs into boiling water.
- Let them boil only for 30 seconds, then carefully remove them (this preliminary cooking serves to set the whites a bit and makes the eggs much easier to handle).
- Bring the 5 cups water and cider vinegar to a simmer in a deep skillet.
- Gently crack each egg and open it directly over the simmering water.
- Let the egg gently slide into the water; spoon simmering water over the eggs if they are not completely submerged.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and cover for 4-5 minutes; assemble salad during this time.
- To make 6 individual servings: place 1 head of frisée on each plate and spoon the dressing on top.
- When poached eggs are ready, with a slotted spoon lift them out of the water and onto a kitchen towel to drain.
- Carefully place the drained eggs on the dressed frisées.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper; scatter pancetta over the eggs.
- Garnish each plate with freshly made crostini; serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Combine 4 tablespoons oil and thyme in large bowl. Press 2 garlic cloves into oil with garlic press; whisk to blend. Add chanterelles and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Spread mushroom mixture on sheet. Roast mushrooms until tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
- Cut Speck crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add Speck; sauté until crisp, 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Toast ciabatta slices until golden; rub with remaining garlic clove. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Halve each slice lengthwise.
- Fill large skillet with water and bring to boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Crack eggs, 1 at a time, into custard cup, then slide egg from cup into water; reduce heat to low. Poach eggs until whites are set and yolks are softly set, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss lettuce and mâche with enough vinaigrette to coat. Mound salad on 6 plates. Using slotted spoon, remove eggs from water, dab with paper towels to absorb excess liquid, and place atop salads. Garnish with mushrooms and Speck. Place ciabatta fingers around salad and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect poached egg, use fresh eggs and bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs.
- For a crisp and flavorful pancetta, cook it in a single layer in a hot skillet until it's browned and crispy.
- Use a variety of lettuces and greens for a more vibrant and flavorful salad.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
- For a creamy and tangy dressing, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling to enjoy the poached eggs while they're still warm and runny.
