  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic or white wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preparation

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry sage leaves to crisp and remove to drain; reserve sage-infused brown butter.
 
Cover eggs with water in a small pot, bring to boil and boil 7 minutes. Crack shells and soak to loosen. Peel shells and pat egg dry.  Toss them in brown butter to coat, spooning butter liberally over the top.
 

Arrange the greens on plates. Whisk up dressing ingredients and dress salads. Nest eggs in the greens and garnish each dish with crispy sage leaves.
