Combining bacon, eggs, avocado and charred sourdough, this twist on a Caesar salad works as breakfast, lunch or dinner. The creamy avocado is a good foil for the smoky bacon and piquant anchovies.

Ingredients

Tarragon-anchovy dressing

Method

1.Cook eggs in a saucepan of boiling water until cooked to your liking (6 minutes for soft-boiled). Refresh in iced water and peel.
2.Meanwhile, for tarragon-anchovy dressing, process yolk, anchovies, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a food processor to combine, then, with the motor running, add oil in a thin, steady stream, processing until thick and emulsified. Stir in lemon juice, crème fraîche and tarragon, season to taste and chill until required.
3.Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue to high heat. Drizzle bacon with oil and grill in batches, turning occasionally, until crisp (2-3 minutes). Drizzle sourdough with oil and grill, turning once, until charred and toasted (1-2 minutes each side). Rub with cut sides of garlic.
4.Divide cos among bowls, top with avocado and torn egg, crumble croûtons and bacon on top and scatter with anchovies. Drizzle with tarragon-anchovy dressing, top with parsley and grated parmesan and serve.
