Salad for breakfast you ask? Oui! “Petit Dejeuner” is French for breakfast and although a salad in the morning sounds unappetizing to most, do not be fooled!
Salad Dejeuner is dripping with flavor and does not have to be reserved for breakfast alone; it can be any time of day.
Poached egg, lardon (small tidbits of bacon) and endive greens all make me say, “Ooh la la!” and is all the while a filling lectin-free recipe with plenty of flavor.
Salad “Petit Dejeuner”
- 1/2 endive head
- 1 pastured egg (poached)
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 strips of pastured bacon (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- salt/pepper to taste (to taste)
- To make this savory dish, heat a skillet over medium-high. Heat a small pot of water half full over medium-high as well.
- Dice bacon strips and place into skillet once the pan is warm. Stir bacon bits until browned, take off heat and let bacon rest to the side.
- Poach an egg in the near boiling pot of water. If you are not keen on poaching an egg, you can buy poaching “boats” that are very simple to use. You want to cook the egg until the white of the egg is fully cooked and the yolk is slightly cooked, but still tender and able to break (the yolk becomes a part of the dressing for the salad).
-
With a clean knife (on a clean cutting board), finely chop endive greens.
-
Assort on a plate and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Place the poached egg on top of the salad and sprinkle the bacon bits throughout. Salt and pepper to taste.
Break the pastured egg yolk to add further “salad dressing”with the first bite and enjoy!
