Warm Salad with Bacon, Croutons and boiled Egg.

A warm salad is just a salad with some cooked ingredients (bacon, egg and croutons) in it.  I have used mesclun salad mix in this recipe but you could use normal lettuce.
Fry the bacon first, then add the croutons when the bacon is just about done. The croutons will absorb all the oil and flavour from the bacon. They won't take long to crisp up.
Tossing the salad means to mix all the ingredients through. You could serve it with some mayonaise or a dressing.
Remember: try to use free range pork bacon. Happy pigs equals better flavour.
