Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 small head of radicchio, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 medium shallot, chopped
  • 3 baby radishes, shaved thin
  • to serve: little dollop of salted creme fraiche and/or a drizzle of olive oil.

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch or so. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Now turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for ten minutes (a couple minutes longer than I normally do). Have a big bowl of ice water ready and when the eggs are done cooking place them in the ice bath for three minutes or so - long enough to stop the cooking.
  • Crack and peel each egg, then use the big holes on a standard box grater to grate the eggs. Place in a bowl and use your fingers to gently toss the eggs with the salt and pepper. At this point you can add whatever you like to the salad - I tossed in shredded radicchio, fresh dill, shallots, and shaved baby radishes. Serve topped with tiny dollops of something creamy - like creme fraich or plain yogurt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Just a bit of each so you don't weigh it down.
