Fried Egg Salad Recipes

FRIED OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the radicchio, romaine and onion in a large serving bowl.
• Drizzle with half of the Dressing and toss well. Top with the Fried Olives. Shave the cheese over the top with a vegetable peeler into thick curls. Drizzle the remaining Dressing over the top and serve immediately.
• Combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, harissa, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder and sugar in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The dressing can be made earlier in the day, though you may need to thin it out with a teaspoon or two of water before serving.)
• Heat an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a medium Dutch oven. Set a rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
• Spread the flour in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl with a pinch of salt and splash of water. In a third shallow bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Dredge the olives, a few at a time, in the flour, then the beaten egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Dredge once more in both flour and egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly. Set the olives on a plate as you coat them.
• Once all the olives are breaded, add them to the oil a few at a time, stirring gently with a spider or slotted spoon, to keep them separate. Fry until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to rack. Season with salt, as needed.

• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the skillet.
• Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the vinegar in a large bowl. Add the roasted vegetables, bacon, arugula, parsley and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Heat the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and fry until just set, about 4 minutes. Serve over the salad and top with more parmesan.

WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH FRIED EGG AND POTATOES

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons oil with vinegar, mustard, and shallot; season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Add spinach and Parmesan (do not toss); set aside.
• When potatoes are done cooking, immediately transfer to bowl with spinach and dressing (reserve skillet). Toss salad until spinach is slightly wilted, and divide among 4 plates.

FRIED EGG SALAD

Steps:

• 1) Place the lettuce and optional salad ingredients on a plate or pasta bowl. 2) Toast & butter the bread then cut into bite sized pieces and garnish around the salad. 3) Fry an egg and place on the salad. Note: You can use any salad ingredients that you like. I prefer to keep this dish simple and enjoy the clean, natural flavors. You don't need a salad dressing as the olive oil, salt & pepper and the egg will more than make up for it.

FRIED EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Crack eggs in pan and cook to desired firmness. Just before eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheese over each egg.
• After cheese has melted, place each egg on a toasted slice of bread. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on remaining slices of bread and cover eggs with bread to make 4 sandwiches. Serve warm.

FRIED EGG SALAD (YUM KAI DAO)

Steps:

• Mix the fish sauce, sugar, soup base and lime juice well in a bowl.
• Chop the garlic, chilies and coriander fine.
• Fry the eggs in a very hot pan with a good deal of oil until crispy, about 1 minute. It helps to ladle the oil over the top of the egg to cook both sides at the same time. Set aside and allow to cool a bit.
• Put the eggs in a plate and cut into quarters. Mix the garlic, chilies and coriander together into the sauce.
• When ready to eat, pour the sauce over the eggs. Don't let it sit long or the eggs will get soggy.
