Dandelion Greens With A Fried Egg, Croutons, And Anchovy Dressing From 'Franny'S'
- 3 cups torn chunks crusty bread (about 5 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
-  
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 anchovies, mashed to a paste (1 teaspoon)
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 5 cups dandelion greens
- Coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F, with a rack positioned in the middle. Toss the bread with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the bread on a baking sheet and toast until the croutons are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a large knife, mash the garlic into a paste with a pinch of salt. Transfer to a small bowl. Whisk in the vinegar, anchovy, and salt. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the eggs until the whites are just set, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the greens and croutons with the dressing. Divide the salad among six serving plates. Top each with an egg and garnish with grated cheese.
- Always taste dandelion greens before buying them; sometimes they can be too bitter. Just tear off a tiny piece of a leaf (most vendors at the farmers' market will let you do this) and take a bite. The greens should have a hint of bitterness, but it shouldn't be overwhelming.
