De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

  1. 1

    Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

    Ongeveer 7 min

  2. 2

    Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let it stand for 10-12 minutes.

    Ongeveer 12 min

    Tip van de kok: This gentle cooking method prevents the yolks from getting a gray-green ring.

  3. 3

    Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Ongeveer 5 min

    Tip van de kok: Cooling the eggs quickly makes them much easier to peel.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped onion and the coarsely crushed crackers.

    Ongeveer 3 min

    Tip van de kok: Crush the crackers with your hands or the bottom of a glass for an uneven, rustic texture.

  5. 5

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whipped dressing, whole milk, and white vinegar until smooth.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  6. 6

    Season the dressing with salt and black pepper and whisk again to combine.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  7. 7

    Pour the dressing over the onion and cracker mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated.

    Ongeveer 2 min

    Tip van de kok: Avoid overmixing, which can make the crackers break down too much.

  8. 8

    Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the crackers to soften slightly.

    Ongeveer 10 min

  9. 9

    Peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and slice them into rounds.

    Ongeveer 3 min

  10. 10

    Garnish the top of the salad with the sliced eggs just before serving.
