Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

salt
4 large eggs
1 lb Baby Spinach
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (may sub scallions)
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the eggs and simmer over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, move the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes. Keep the pan of hot water on the stove over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, put the spinach in a large bowl. In a medium skillet, combine the olive oil, sherry and balsamic vinegars, shallots and thyme, and boil for 1 minute.
  • Crack the eggs all over and gently peel them under warm running water, keeping them whole. Using a slotted spoon, slip the eggs in the hot water for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the warm dressing over the spinach, season with salt and pepper and toss. Mound the salad on plates, top each with an egg and serve.
