Crouton salad with egg and anchovy
A composed salad built on herbed croutons and raw greens, topped with a soft egg and anchovy dressing. The shelf croutons carry enough flavor that you need only dress the greens simply and let their texture shine alongside the crisp bread and rich yolk.

To buy
- 4 ounces [115g] mixed greens or escarole
- 4 fillets anchovy fillets
From your shelf
- 2 cups [100g] savory herb croutons
Staples
- 3 tablespoons oil
- pinch salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 eggs
- Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Gently lower two eggs into the water and set a timer for six minutes so the yolks stay soft. While they cook, tear the mixed greens into bite-sized pieces and divide between two plates.
- Whisk three tablespoons oil with four anchovy fillets mashed to a paste, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste until combined. Dress the greens lightly and scatter two cups of croutons over each plate.
- When the eggs are done, lift them with a slotted spoon, cool under cold water for thirty seconds, and peel. Set one soft egg on top of each salad and serve right away.
Note Swap the anchovies for two tablespoons of red wine vinegar if you like. Eat this salad at once; leftovers do not keep. Serve with bread to mop up the yolk and dressing.
