Cobb Salad With Poached Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and mustard; season dressing with salt and pepper. Divide lettuce between 2 plates and add chicken, bacon, and cheese. Top each salad with a poached egg. Serve with dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add chicken; cook at a bare simmer until it is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
• Place eggs in a small saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; turn off heat. Cover; let stand 11 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, and cover with cold water; let cool, and peel. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Discard one yolk, and pass the other through a fine sieve into a small bowl; set aside. Slice each egg white into six wedges; set aside.
• Cook bacon in a medium saute pan over medium-low heat until browned and fat is rendered, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to drain on paper towels. Let cool; roughly chop.
• Spread lettuce on a serving platter. Arrange chicken, eggs, bacon, watercress, tomatoes, avocado, parsley, and chives in separate rows.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together cheese, vinegar, and mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil. Season with pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Saute the bacon strips until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain and reserve. Pour off the oil and bacon fat, and reserve. Return the pan to the heat and add the vinegar and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in about 4 teaspoons of the reserved pan drippings to make a dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Fill a small sauce pan with 3 inches of water. Add the distilled vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, adjust heat to so the water is just under a simmer. Break the egg(s) into the water and poach to desired doneness, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile toss the salad with the reserved bacon and the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put the salad on a plate and place the toasts on the salad. Remove eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and pat the back of the spoon with paper towels. Place egg on toast and serve immediately.

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:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Infuse garlic with olive oil for as long as possible. Tear ciabatta into bite-sized pieces and toss with the oil, then toast the bread in the oven for 10-15 mins until golden brown.
• 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.
