2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat and fry the garlic and bacon until the bacon is starting to sizzle, Add the bread and toss in the bacon juices. Fry slowly (this can take 15 mins) until the bacon is crisp and the bread crunchy, drizzling with a little more oil if it becomes dry. Once cooked, remove the garlic and set aside.

3 Meanwhile, boil the eggs for exactly 7½ mins. Rinse under cold running water to cool, then peel and set aside. Cook the beans in a pan of boiling salted water for 5 mins, or until slightly crunchy but still bright green. Drain, tip into a pan of ice-cold water, and drain again.

4 To serve, tip the bacon and bread mix, beans, cheese and spinach into a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss gently with your hands. Scatter the salad over a serving platter, then halve the eggs and scatter over the top. Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper, then serve.
