Ingredients

• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
• 1 Baguette
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 4 Eggs
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Brush each side lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Step 4

While the bread is toasting, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and simmer for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.

Step 5

Chop the cherry tomatoes into halves and tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces.

Step 6

To make the dressing, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.

Step 7

Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half.

Step 8

Rub the toasted baguette slices with the cut side of a garlic clove for added flavor, then break them into bite-sized croutons.

Step 9

In a large bowl, toss the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, basil, and croutons with the balsamic dressing.

Step 10

Divide the salad onto plates, then gently place the soft-boiled egg halves on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
