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.

FRISéE SALAD WITH POACHED EGG
This is inspired by a classic French country salad. The traditional dish includes thick-cut bacon, but this version is great without the meat. You can serve it as a starter, but I like to make a meal of it.
