Saturday Breakfast Salad With Poached Egg And Chimichurri Recipes

Steps:

• For the chimichurri: Add the vinegar, olive oil, oregano, red chile flakes, garlic and parsley to a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and pulse gently until just chopped. Add half of the chimichurri to a plastic bag and reserve the rest for serving.
• For the steaks: Add the steaks to the bag with the chimichurri and make sure they are coated. Seal and rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Bring a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Remove the steaks from the bag, making sure to remove as much chimichurri from them as possible. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill on one side for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and grill until the internal temperature is 125 degrees F for medium rare, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the eggs: Whisk the eggs with 2 teaspoons water in a large bowl until combined and frothy.
• Add the butter to a large nonstick pan over low heat and as it melts, tilt the pan to make sure the butter coats the bottom and sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and allow them to sit until a thin layer begins to set on the bottom and sides of the pan, about 30 seconds. Using a whisk, gently scrape the bottom and sides of the pan using a twisting motion to free any eggs attached to the corners and sides of the pan. Allow the eggs to rest again for another 30 seconds, then "scramble" again with the whisk. Repeat this step until the eggs are almost done but still wet, about 6 minutes total. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to "scramble" them with the whisk to finish, about 30 more seconds. Serve with the rested steaks and reserved chimichurri.

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:

• Combine the lettuce, herbs, red pepper and croutons in a large bowl.
• Poach the eggs. Fill a lidded frying pan with water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water. One at a time, break the eggs into a teacup, then tip from the teacup into the pan (do this in batches if necessary). Immediately turn off the heat under the pan and cover tightly. Leave for four minutes. Lay a clean dish towel next to the pan, and using a slotted spoon or spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Set on the towel to drain.
• Whisk together the vinegars, salt, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil. Toss with the salad until thoroughly coated, and distribute among six salad plates. Top each serving with a poached egg. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with some thyme leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Combine cilantro, olive oil, garlic, red wine vinegar, jalapeno, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Pulse chimichurri sauce until well blended.
• Combine water and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbles form at the bottom of the pot but not yet simmering, about 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Crack egg into a bowl carefully without breaking yolk. Slide egg into water and set a timer for 4 minutes.
• Place spinach, bacon, feta cheese, mushroom, sunflower seeds, and red onion on a serving plate. Carefully scoop poached egg from the water using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra m moisture. Transfer egg to the salad and top with desired amount of chimichurri sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
