Warm salad with crisp bread and egg

A warm salad where tender lettuces and greens wilt just enough, built on garlicky toast and topped with a soft egg. This shelf of mixed lettuces and baby greens is best used fresh and warm tonight, and the radicchio bitterness holds up to heat without turning to mush.

Serves 2. 15 minutes, 15 at the stove.

You need

From your shelf

  • 8 ounces [227 grams] spring baby lettuce, baby greens, radicchio mix

Staples

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices bread flour

  1. Slice 2 cloves garlic thin. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the garlic for one minute until it smells sharp and golden.
  2. Add 8 ounces of the mixed greens and lettuce to the hot oil, tossing as they wilt, about two minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. While the greens wilt, toast 2 slices of bread until golden on both sides in a toaster or separate skillet, then rub each with a cut garlic clove if you have a third one.
  4. Push the wilted greens to the sides of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the center and crack 2 eggs into the pan, cooking until the whites are set but the yolks still jiggle, about three minutes.
  5. Divide the toast between two plates, top each with half the warm greens, then slide one egg on top of each. Season with flakes of salt and a turn of pepper.

Note Swap the eggs for a crumbled soft cheese if you prefer. Leftovers do not keep well; eat the salad at once and use leftover toast for breakfast. Serve with a cold drink and nothing else needed.
