Poached Egg And Toast Salad Recipes

POACHED EGGS ON TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Lightly grease a deep skillet, or a saucepan. (I spray the skillet or saucepan with a no-stick cooking spray.)
• 2. Add 1-inch of water to the skillet, but if using the saucepan, add 1-1/2-inches of water.
• 3. To the water, add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt; then heat water just to boiling.
• 4. Break eggs into 2 separate custard dishes.
• 5. When the water comes to a boil, carefully slip the eggs into the skillet or saucepan.
• 6. Cover the pan or skillet, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
• 7. Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon or pancake turner.
• 8. Serve poached eggs on buttered toast, then season with black pepper and a light sprinkle of dried parsley flakes.

BISTRO SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Refill the pot with water and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour the drippings into a large bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons vinegar and the mustard until smooth. Add the frisee, endive, haricots verts, herbs, shallot, bacon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the simmering water. Reduce the heat to low. Crack each egg into a ramekin or teacup, then gently slip into the water. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Divide the salad among plates. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, blot dry on a paper towel, then transfer to the salads. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the baguette.

POACHED EGG AND TOAST SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 tablespoons water, oil, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, capers, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, bring 2 inches of lightly salted water to a boil; reduce to a slow simmer. One at a time, carefully crack eggs into a shallow bowl, and slide gently into water. Poach for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, blotting well on towel to drain.
• While eggs are poaching, toss greens with dressing. Toast bread, tear each slice into pieces, and toss with salad greens. Arrange on four plates, and top with a poached egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with sprouts if desired.

POACHED EGG SALAD WITH GARLIC CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

• Meanwhile poach the eggs. Dress the lettuce in fresh Caesar salad dressing (we like Florette). Toss the salad, croutons and lettuce in the dressing along with slices of avocado and divide between two plates.
• Top each plate of salad with a poached egg and drizzle a little extra dressing over the egg to serve.
