EGG AND BACON SALAD



Egg and Bacon Salad image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

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.

BISTRO BACON AND EGG SALAD



Bistro Bacon and Egg Salad image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 large eggs
8 cups mesclun salad greens (about 7 ounces)
4 to 8 slices crusty bread, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel. Pull the skillet from the heat (leave drippings in the skillet) and stir in 1 12 tablespoons cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits clinging to the skillet. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and olive oil.
  • Fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
  • While the eggs poach, toss the greens with the vinaigrette and bits of bacon. Divide the salad among 4 plates or shallow bowls. Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water, blot dry with a paper towel, and place 2 of them on top of each salad. Add bread to each plate and serve.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Older eggs will have a less flavorful yolk.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the overall taste of the egg salad.
  • Add some chopped celery or onion for extra crunch and flavor.
  • If you like a creamy egg salad, add a tablespoon or two of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Season the egg salad to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • For a smoky flavor, add some crumbled bacon or cooked sausage.
  • Serve the egg salad on a bed of lettuce or arugula, or in a sandwich or wrap.

Conclusion:

Egg salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its creamy texture and savory flavor, egg salad is a perfect choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Whether you like it simple or loaded with add-ins, there is an egg salad recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg salad a try.
