Earl Grey Salad Dressing Food

EGGS BENEDICT BREAKFAST SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large wide pot with about 3 inches of water and a hefty splash of vinegar. Bring to a low simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onions, bacon, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion and the bacon are browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the 1 tablespoon vinegar, the lemon zest and juice, yogurt, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid and shake well to combine. (The dressing can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Toss the greens, tomatoes, onion-bacon mixture and dressing in a large bowl. Add salt to taste. Divide among 4 salad bowls.
• Toast the English muffins and cut each in half.
• Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Swirl the simmering water, then gently slide the egg into it. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place 1 on top of each salad. Garnish each salad with 2 English muffin pieces and a few grinds of pepper.

EARL GREY MADELEINES

Steps:

• Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Combine eggs and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Fold in the flour mixture with a silicone spatula, 1/4 at a time, until batter is just combined.
• Add 1/2 cup melted butter, Earl Grey tea, and vanilla bean paste; mix until combined. Refrigerate batter for 2 to 24 hours.
• Prepare 2 madeleine pans by greasing each with 1 teaspoon melted butter and dusting with 1 teaspoon flour. Tap out excess flour. Refrigerate the prepared pans before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Pipe or spoon some of the cold batter into the prepared pans. Fill the molds no more than 3/4 full. Transfer pans to the oven and reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake until madeleines puff up and edges start to color, 6 to 9 minutes. Cool madeleines on a wire rack or paper towels. Wipe out the pans and repeat to finish the batter.
