Poached Egg Salads With Pancetta Vinaigrette Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. Combine 4 tablespoons oil and thyme in large bowl. Press 2 garlic cloves into oil with garlic press; whisk to blend. Add chanterelles and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Spread mushroom mixture on sheet. Roast mushrooms until tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
• Cut Speck crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add Speck; sauté until crisp, 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Toast ciabatta slices until golden; rub with remaining garlic clove. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Halve each slice lengthwise.
• Fill large skillet with water and bring to boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Crack eggs, 1 at a time, into custard cup, then slide egg from cup into water; reduce heat to low. Poach eggs until whites are set and yolks are softly set, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss lettuce and mâche with enough vinaigrette to coat. Mound salad on 6 plates. Using slotted spoon, remove eggs from water, dab with paper towels to absorb excess liquid, and place atop salads. Garnish with mushrooms and Speck. Place ciabatta fingers around salad and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and pancetta to a skillet; cook over medium heat until pancetta is crisp.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove pancetta to paper towels to drain; set aside.
• Make salad dressing: combine the olive oil, vinegars, garlic, shallot, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Poach the eggs: use your preferred method or as follows-bring enough water to cover whole (unshelled) eggs to boil in a small saucepan; gently lower eggs into boiling water.
• Let them boil only for 30 seconds, then carefully remove them (this preliminary cooking serves to set the whites a bit and makes the eggs much easier to handle).
• Bring the 5 cups water and cider vinegar to a simmer in a deep skillet.
• Gently crack each egg and open it directly over the simmering water.
• Let the egg gently slide into the water; spoon simmering water over the eggs if they are not completely submerged.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and cover for 4-5 minutes; assemble salad during this time.
• To make 6 individual servings: place 1 head of frisée on each plate and spoon the dressing on top.
• When poached eggs are ready, with a slotted spoon lift them out of the water and onto a kitchen towel to drain.
• Carefully place the drained eggs on the dressed frisées.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper; scatter pancetta over the eggs.
• Garnish each plate with freshly made crostini; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, sesame oil, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, gochujang, and black sesame seeds together in a bowl. Cover vinaigrette with plastic wrap and chill.
• Mix chicken and spinach together in a large bowl. Divide salad among 4 serving plates.
• Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to bring water to a gentle simmer; add 1 tablespoon vinegar and salt. Crack each egg into an individual bowl or cup then gently slip into the water at 10- to 15-second intervals. Cook eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, draining water, and place one poached egg on each salad.
• Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas6.
• Leave the eggs in their shells at this point (you will need to poach them later on).
• Shave the parmesan with a vegetable peeler and put to one side.
• Peel and slice the garlic.
• Remove the crusts from the ciabatta and discard. Tear the bread into finger sized pieces.
• Put them on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil and toss with the garlic and seasoning.
• Bake for 10 minutes until the bread is crisp.
• Lay the pancetta over the bread and bake for about 5 more minutes - until that's also crispy.
• Mix the lemon juice with 8 tablespoons of olive oil and season.
• Put a big pan of unsalted water on to boil.
• In a large bowl, toss the salad leaves, pancetta, bread and the dressing together.
• Divide between 4 plates.
• When the pan is simmering, gently crack the 4 eggs into the simmering water to poach.
• Simmer for 4 minutes if you like a soft egg, or to your liking.
• Place an egg on top of each salad and add the parmesan shavings.
• Serve straight away - Don't let the eggs get cold!
