COOK MODE
Instructions
- Heat a small pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Gently drop in the eggs and let them boil for 4 minutes. After cooking, plunge them in a bowl of room temperature or cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan over high heat and add the bacon, cooking for 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels, then slice.
- Prepare the dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
- To prepare the salad, toss the cos lettuce in the dressing and serve in two bowls. Top with bacon, eggs and parmesan cheese.
Notes
This is a great way to use up leftover bacon from breakfast. And if you’ve prepped some boiled eggs, you can skip the egg cooking step and make the whole salad process even quicker and easier.
Don’t love anchovies? You can leave these out.
