Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
12 slices crusty peasant bread
2 large cloves garlic, halved
Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling, plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1.4 pound thick cut pancetta, diced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick or quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Marsala or dry sherry
1/2 pound farm spinach - available bundled in produce department, washed, dried and chopped
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 lemon
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the eggs in a pan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover the pan, turn off the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water, crack and return to cold water for a few minutes to loosen shells. Chop the eggs and set aside.
  • Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and rub with the garlic. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with the cheese, then return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • While bread toasts, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan. Add the pancetta and crisp for about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and deglaze the pan with Marsala or dry sherry.
  • While mushrooms cook, combine spinach with red onions and dress with juice of 1 lemon, a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and nutmeg.
  • Arrange the toasts on a platter and top with the mushrooms and spinach. Garnish with chopped eggs and serve.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the strawberries and the tanginess of the goat cheese pair perfectly with the spinach and walnuts.

This spinach salad on garlic croutons was a hit! The croutons were crispy and flavorful, and the spinach salad was light and refreshing. I added a bit of extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to the croutons, and they were amazing.
