Salad With Cheese Sandwich And Poached Egg Recipe

Prepare the Salad

1. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onions. 2. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. 3. Toss well to combine and set aside.

Make the Cheese Sandwich

1. Take two slices of your favorite bread (whole grain recommended). 2. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice. 3. Place cheese slices (cheddar or your choice) between the bread slices, butter side facing out. 4. In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. 5. Remove from the skillet and cut the sandwich in half.

Poach the Egg

1. Fill a pot with water and bring to a gentle simmer. 2. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. 3. Crack an egg into a small bowl. 4. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water using a spoon, then gently slide the egg into the center. 5. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. 6. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and gently tap off any excess water.

Assemble the Plate

1. On a plate, place a portion of the mixed salad. 2. Add the grilled cheese sandwich halves next to the salad. 3. Carefully place the poached egg on top of the salad. 4. Garnish with some freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
