For the Salad

  • 7 slices bacon
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese, cut into strips
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, chicken or duck, quartered
  • 1 head romaine, torn, or lettuce of your choice
  • 1/4 cup chives, chopped
  • black pepper, to taste

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the 7 slices of bacon on the parchment, bake until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and chop into bite size pieces, set aside.
  • While the first seven slices of bacon are baking, heat a medium size pan on medium heat and fry the 1 piece of bacon to start making the dressing. Cook until crisp, then add the garlic and shallot. cook until the shallot is soft, about 2 minutes or so. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the salt, mustard, vinegar, and olive oil.
  • On a large platter, or using 4 serving bowls, add the lettuce, then bacon, then eggs.
  • Return the dressing to low heat just to warm it then drizzle over the salad. Garnish with the chives and some black pepper as desired.
