BACON AND EGG SALAD



Bacon and Egg Salad image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

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.

EGGS BENEDICT BRUNCH BRAID



Eggs Benedict Brunch Braid image

I make this ahead and serve it for Christmas morning breakfast. It has the ingredients of a classic eggs Benedict, encased in puff pastry to create a beautiful loaf. You can refrigerate the assembled braid overnight, or freeze it for up to two weeks. If you prepare it ahead of time, wrap it tightly so the pastry doesn't dry out, and brush strudel with egg wash just before baking. Add 20 minutes to baking time if strudel is frozen. -Sarah Strohl, Commerce Township, Michigan

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS



Crispy Oven Bacon and Eggs image

Bacon browns and crisps evenly in the oven without the hassle of flipping slices on the stovetop, while eggs can oven-fry alongside for perfect sunny-side-up runny yolks and tender whites. The oven's encompassing heat helps egg whites set on top before the yolks start to stiffen. Make sure to have the eggs sit at room temperature before cracking them into the hot pan: It ensures they'll cook quickly and evenly.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     breakfast, brunch, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large eggs
8 bacon slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toast, for serving

Steps:

  • Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
  • Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.
