Bacon, Egg and Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
- 3 medium cucumbers--peeled, halved, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces sliced bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Toasted country bread, for serving
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cucumbers with the vinegar, water, butter and sugar and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook over moderate heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the cucumbers are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels. Fry the eggs in the same skillet until the yolks are soft but not runny. Transfer the eggs to a cutting board and coarsely chop them.
- Gently stir the eggs into the cucumbers. Coarsely crumble in the bacon and toss gently. Spoon the salad onto plates, sprinkle with parsley and serve with the toast.
