Bacon, Egg & Swiss Salad
This sounds very good, and even has a warm bacon dressing. On my to cook list.
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 7 slices bacon
- 6 slices Swiss cheese, cut into strips
- 4 hard boiled eggs, chicken or duck, quartered
- 1 head romaine, torn, or lettuce of your choice
- 1/4 cup chives, chopped
- black pepper, to taste
For the Dressing
- 1 slice bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the 7 slices of bacon on the parchment, bake until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and chop into bite size pieces, set aside.
- While the first seven slices of bacon are baking, heat a medium size pan on medium heat and fry the 1 piece of bacon to start making the dressing. Cook until crisp, then add the garlic and shallot. cook until the shallot is soft, about 2 minutes or so. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the salt, mustard, vinegar, and olive oil.
- On a large platter, or using 4 serving bowls, add the lettuce, then bacon, then eggs.
- Return the dressing to low heat just to warm it then drizzle over the salad. Garnish with the chives and some black pepper as desired.
- Serve as a lunch or light dinner.
