To buy
- 4 cups mixed greens or lettuce
- 1 medium tomato
From your shelf
- 1 package egg salad croissant (Taylor Farms)
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat the broiler to high. Split the croissant lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- Divide the egg salad evenly between the two croissant halves, spreading it gently to the edges. Broil four to five minutes, watching carefully, until the croissant is lightly browned and the top of the salad is warmed through; you'll smell it when it's done.
- While the croissants broil, toss the mixed greens in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Slice the tomato into wedges and add to the greens.
- Transfer the hot croissant halves to plates and serve alongside the salad.
Note Swap the salad for roasted vegetables or leftover potatoes if you have them. Eat immediately while the croissant is warm. Serve with lemon wedges or a vinaigrette on the side.
