    How to Make Sunny Side-Up BLT Breakfast Salad

    1. Boil the Eggs

    Start by boiling the eggs. Place the two large eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and cook for about six minutes. This method will give you soft-boiled eggs with firm whites and slightly jiggly yolks, adding a perfect creaminess to your salad.

    2. Toss the Greens

    While the eggs are boiling, toss the mixed greens with the olive oil in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of pink salt and some freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss until the greens look lightly coated and shiny. Then, divide the greens evenly between two bowls.

    3. Add Toppings

    Next, top the greens with the thinly sliced avocado, halved grape tomatoes, and the cooked, chopped bacon. Make sure to distribute the toppings evenly over each salad to ensure every bite is flavorful.

    4. Add Eggs and Season

    Once the eggs are done boiling, carefully peel them and halve them using a knife. Place two egg halves on each salad bowl with the yolk side up to showcase the runny yolks. This detail not only looks appealing but also adds to the salad's texture and flavor. Finally, season the entire salad with a light sprinkle of pink salt and freshly ground black pepper. This final touch enhances the overall taste of the ingredients.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients

    Opt for farm-fresh eggs, thick-cut artisanal bacon, ripe in-season tomatoes, and fresh, crisp lettuce for the best flavor and presentation.

    Master the Sunny Side-Up Egg

    Use a non-stick skillet with a bit of high-quality butter or oil, cook on low heat, and consider covering the pan to set the whites without flipping.

    Final Touches

    Place the sunny side-up eggs on top just before serving and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a dash of smoked paprika or chives.

    Render Bacon Perfectly

    Cook the bacon slowly over medium heat and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess grease, avoiding a soggy salad.

    Assemble with Care

    Toss greens in dressing before plating, layer bacon and tomatoes thoughtfully.
