Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- Red Onion: 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- Spring Onion: 8 spring onions, trimmed (remove the root and half of the dark green part)
- Parsley: handful parsley, roughly chopped
- Lemon: juice 1/2 lemon
- Wholemeal Bread: 1 slice wholemeal bread, broken into chunky breadcrumbs
- Dijon Mustard: 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Little Gem Lettuce: 1 Little Gem lettuce, roughly chopped
- Cannellini Bean: 400g can cannellini bean, drained and rinsed
- Medium Egg: 2 medium eggs
Directions
- Cook the eggs in boiling water for 6 mins, or longer if you prefer them hard-boiled. Add the spring onions for the final 3 mins of cooking. Remove and run both under cold water. When cool enough to handle, pat the spring onions dry and peel the eggs.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Tip in breadcrumbs and season. Fry for 3-4 mins until crisp and golden, then set aside.
- Toss the spring onions with the beans, lemon juice, mustard, red onion, parsley, remaining oil and lettuce. Season and arrange halved boiled eggs on top. Sprinkle with the crumbs and eat straight away.
