Salad Base

Twelve-Minute Egg

Method

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rosemary Breadcrumbs

    In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs with finely chopped fresh rosemary. Optionally, toast in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Toast the Pignoli Nuts

    In a small dry skillet, toast the pignoli nuts over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat.

Cooking the Twelve-Minute Egg

  1. 4

    Boil the Eggs

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 12 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs once cooled.

Making the Caesar Dressing

  1. 5

    Blend the Dressing Ingredients

    In a blender, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the crispy bacon, toasted pignoli nuts, and rosemary breadcrumbs.

  2. 7

    Add Dressing

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.

  3. 8

    Top with Eggs

    Slice the twelve-minute eggs in half or quarters and place them on top of the salad. Finish with additional grated Asiago cheese if desired.
