01
Step 1
Start by placing an egg in a saucepan and covering it with water so it sits about an inch above the egg. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then take the pan off the heat and let the egg sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes. After that, drain the water and run the egg under cold water until it’s cool enough to handle. Peel the egg and slice it.

Step 2
Toss the lettuce in a salad bowl, then sprinkle the chopped bell pepper and onion over the top. Drizzle the dressing evenly all over the salad and give it a gentle toss. Take the sprouts and carefully pull them apart, arranging them on the salad in a little nest shape.

Step 3
Season the egg slices with a bit of salt and pepper, then nestle them right in the center of the sprouts. Finish by sprinkling the honey-glazed almonds around the egg for a nice crunch and a touch of sweetness.
