Soft Eggs with Green Goddess Dressing
Time: 45 min
Recipe by: Steven Satterfield (EatingWell Magazine)
- Put a large pot of water on to boil.
- To prepare dressing: Combine crème fraîche, mayonnaise, basil, chives, parsley, anchovies, lemon zest and juice, vinegar, tarragon, salt and pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
- To prepare breadcrumbs: Pulse bread in a mini food processor until finely ground. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat until beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs; cook until the butter is absorbed and the breadcrumbs are light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
- To prepare eggs: Set a bowl of ice water near the stove. Using a spoon, gently lower eggs into the boiling water. Reduce heat to maintain a rapid simmer. Cook for 7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice in half.
- Arrange the eggs, cut-side up, on a platter. Spoon ⅓ cup dressing over them (reserve the remaining dressing for another use) and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with radishes, if desired.
- To make ahead: Refrigerate dressing (Step 2) for up to 5 days.

Broccoli Goat Cheese Toast
A Toast that’s finally not an Avocado Toast- YAY! It’s called Broccoli Goat Cheese Toast and we love it. It’s basically adding broccoli to a slice of bread with some goat cheese, lime, and chile… yummm?PHOTOS COURTESY OF: DANIELLE WALSH
Yield: Serves 2
Total time: About 15 minutes
- 1/2 broccoli crown (about 2 ounces)
- 1 ounce goat cheese (about 1/4 cup crumbled)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley and marjoram (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
- 2 slices whole-grain country bread
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Steam broccoli for 4 minutes, until tender but bright. Rinse briefly with cold water and drain well on paper towels or kitchen towels. Chop fine and measure out 1/4 cup.
- Mash goat cheese in a bowl and add the 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and the fresh herbs if using. Mash together.
- If desired, rub 1 slice of bread with a cut clove of garlic and then purée remaining garlic and stir into broccoli/goat cheese mixture. Spread goat cheese and broccoli over bread. Sprinkle with sea salt, chile and add some lime.
(If you want to make it into a sandwich) you can top it with another other slice of bread (rub it with garlic if desired) and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over top slice of bread).
- Toast in toaster oven 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Remove from toaster oven and serve.
Note: If you are worried about cheese oozing out onto your toaster oven’s heating element , you can place on a baking sheet. You can also make this in a panini grill.
