EGG AND BACON SALAD

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
1 head escarole or frisee or other bitter leaves of choice
1 teaspoon garlic oil
7 ounces (3/4 cup) smoked lardoons, or about 14 slices smoked bacon, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons cider vinegar
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped

Steps:

  • Put the eggs into a saucepan of water, over medium heat. Bring to boil, and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let cool. Peel the eggs once they feel cool to the touch.
  • Cook's Note: I cook my eggs this way, as I love the yolks to be only just or rather almost hard-boiled, with the memory of oozy goldenness still evident at the centre; it also keeps the white amazingly silky. If, however you prefer a proper, good and bouncy reassuringly hard-boiled egg, cooked until the yolks are powdery and compact, keep the heat on under the pan for 10 minutes. The same applies, if you're making this for anyone with a compromised immune system, such as the old and frail, very young or pregnant women.
  • Meanwhile, tear the salad leaves into bite-sized pieces and drop them into a serving bowl.
  • Heat the garlic oil in a small frying pan, over medium heat and fry the lardons or bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes or so. Transfer the lardons or bacon with a slotted spatula to some paper towels to drain, while you make the dressing.
  • Add the Dijon mustard to the bacon juices in the pan and whisk to combine, then add the vinegar and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk again, then pour it over the salad leaves, tossing to mix.
  • Add the lardons and toss again, then quarter the eggs and add them along with the chopped parsley. Gently mix to combine, trying not to break up the eggs.
  • Make Ahead Note:
  • The hard-boiled eggs can be made up 4 days ahead. Cool, leave the shells and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Remove the shells just before serving.

BACON AND EGG SALAD

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
6 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe avocado, sliced, optional
1 Roma tomato, sliced, optional
4 croissants, lightly toasted, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
  • Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.

Tips:

  • For a smoother egg salad, use a food processor to chop the eggs. However, be careful not to over-process, or the egg salad will become too runny.
  • Add-ins like bacon, celery, and onion are all optional. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to find your favorite combination.
  • If you're making egg salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve egg salad on a variety of breads, crackers, or even lettuce leaves. It's also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.
