Bacon And Egger Dinner Salad Recipes

BACON-AND-EGG CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Put the Parmesan, oil, vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine. (The dressing can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Lay the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, then finely chop.
• Wipe out the skillet, coat it with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread, then rub one side of each slice with the garlic. Cut each slice in half. Put 2 toast halves on each of 4 plates and top each plate with a romaine heart half. Drizzle with the dressing, top with an egg and sprinkle with the bacon. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH BACON AND HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard-boil eggs:
• Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch in a small heavy saucepan and bring to a boil, partially covered with lid. Reduce heat to low and cook eggs, covered completely, 10 minutes. Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 2 minutes.
• Make salad:
• While eggs are simmering, cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, leaving rendered fat in skillet.
• Peel eggs and finely chop.
• Put romaine and egg in a serving bowl.
• Add oil and shallot to fat in skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and salt and boil, swirling skillet, 10 seconds. Pour hot dressing over romaine and egg and toss to combine. Add bacon and toss salad, then season with salt and pepper.

EGG SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes.
• At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Mix bacon, mayonnaise, green onions, dill, lemon juice, Dijon, yellow mustard together in a medium bowl.
• Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Chop eggs into 1/4-inch cubes. Mix into mayonnaise mixture and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve.
