How to Make Poached Egg And Toast Salad

  1. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. **Poach the Eggs:** Gently simmer 1 inch of water in a saucepan. Crack 4 eggs individually into small bowls. Create a gentle swirl in the water and carefully slip each egg into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  3. **Prepare the Salad:** In a large bowl, toss 5 ounces mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula) with the dressing.
  4. **Toast & Toss:** Toast 2 slices of your favorite bread until golden brown. Tear into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.
  5. **Assemble & Serve:** Divide the salad among four plates. Top each with a poached egg.
  6. **Garnish & Season:** Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with 1 tablespoon alfalfa sprouts (or sprouts of your choice) per plate.
