### For the dressing

- 1 tsp [Honey](https://fridge.menu/en/i/honey)

## Steps

1. Fry the bacon rashers in a dry pan until crisp. (3 min)
2. Rub a slice of bread with garlic and spread both sides thinly with butter. Fry the bread in the bacon fat until crisp on both sides. Remove from the heat, cut into rough cubes and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bring a pan of water to the boil. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl. Once the water is boiling, add the apple cider vinegar and remove the pan from the heat. (5 min)
4. Use a spoon or whisk to create a whirlpool in the water. Pour the egg into the centre of the whirlpool and return the pan to the heat. (3 min)
5. Cook for about 3 minutes, then carefully lift the poached egg out with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs. (3 min)
6. Arrange the salad mix and rocket on plates or a large platter.
7. Drizzle the dressing in stripes, sprinkle with the finely chopped bacon and croutons, top with the poached eggs and garnish with chives and watercress.
8. Dressing: mix all the dressing ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to taste. (2 min)
