Warm Chicories Salad with Poached Egg, Bacon and Kumquat

We've been making a new salad recently, after trying it at Nopa a few weeks ago. They still have a version of it on the menu.

The basic idea is to combine warmed up chicories, either endive or radicchio (or both), with bits of smoked bacon, thinly sliced kumquat, some of the bacon cooking grease (or oil olive for a healthier option) and a poached egg (the yolk makes the salad). It's a fantastic combination. We briefly warm the chocories up over low heat in a pan and combine the bacon, bacon grease, olive oil and kumquat with a little salt and pepper. Simultaneously, we poach the eggs, and after plating the salad, top off each plate with a single poached egg. It's a warm, tasty salad, perfect for an easy weekend lunch or brunch.
