Soft Egg, Bacon and Avocado Salad
Bacon crisped from cold, jammy eggs halved over romaine and avocado, dressed with the bacon fat and lemon.
Ingredients
- 3 Egg
- 100 g Avocado
- 40 g Bacon
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ Lemon
- 60 g Romaine lettuce (optional)
- ¼ tsp Black pepper (optional)
Method
- Lower the eggs into boiling water and give them seven minutes for a set white and a jammy centre, then cool them under a running tap and peel them.
- Cut the bacon into short lardons, start them in a cold pan and bring them up slowly over six minutes until the fat has run out and the pieces snap rather than bend.
- Shred the romaine and whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice with the black pepper. Slice the avocado at the last moment.
- Toss the romaine through the dressing, lay the avocado over it, halve the eggs on top so the yolks stay whole until they are cut, and scatter the bacon with a spoonful of its warm fat.
