Cook 150g streaky bacon in a cold pan over medium heat, allowing the fat to render slowly. Cook until crispy, about 8 minutes total.
Remove bacon to paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat for the vinaigrette - it adds incredible smoky flavor.
For soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks: lower 4 eggs into boiling water, cook 7 minutes, then transfer immediately to ice water.
Make the warm bacon vinaigrette: whisk together the reserved bacon fat, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and honey.
Wash and dry a mix of sturdy greens like frisée, radicchio, and baby spinach. These hold up well to warm dressing.
Peel the soft-boiled eggs carefully - they're delicate when warm. Set aside on a clean plate.
Halve 2 ripe avocados and remove the pit. Slice into the shell and scoop out perfect crescents with a large spoon.
Arrange the greens on individual plates or a large platter. Fan the avocado slices around the edges.
Crumble or roughly chop the crispy bacon. Scatter over the greens and avocado, reserving some for the top.
Halve the soft-boiled eggs and nestle them into the salad with the golden, runny yolks facing up.
Drizzle the warm bacon vinaigrette over everything just before serving. The warmth will slightly wilt the greens.
Top with remaining bacon, a shower of chopped chives, and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
