I used the first thing from my garden....lettuce! I somewhat copied a salad I wrote about that I had at Butterfield's. Here is my version.......
I poached eggs - the first time I have ever done that. I added vinegar to boiling water. I cracked an egg into a small bowl. I swirled the water and dropped in an egg. I stopped stirring and left it alone in the boiling water. I didn't have a slotted spoon, but I used a little strainer. Improvising works....just try it! I made two poached eggs for my salad.
In the bowl, I put fresh picked lettuce. Then cut up papadew peppers and marinated artichokes, put them on the lettuce and put crumbles on goat cheese on it as well. I drizzled in very good balsamic vinegar over the whole salad, and then put on top the two poached eggs.
This was an amazing dish....definitely restaurant quality if I do say so myself! Tasty and pretty. The warm egg yolks mix with the goat cheese and made a creamy texture. The bites of peppers (sweet heat), artichoke hearts (different texture), balsamic vinegar (tangy), and fresh lettuce (crunchy).....oral nirvana.
Looks delicious! Nothing is better than cooking with home grown. Glad your garden is producing!
