  • 8 ounces romaine lettuce (about 15 leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons prepared Caesar salad dressing
  • ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Grainsfirst crackers (or favorite Dare cracker variety)
Instructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil, lay bacon on tray and cook until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool, then slice bacon into fine matchsticks.
  3. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, place the egg into the pot and boil for ten minutes. Drain water and run cold water over the egg until cold; peel and grate.
  4. Chop the top and bottom of the Romaine lettuce, wash and let drain on paper towel. Choose ten of the best shaped lettuce leaves for the Caesar cups. Finely slice the remaining lettuce.
  5. Fold the chopped lettuce with the egg, Parmesan, and dressing. Line the lettuce cups with the filling, top with sliced bacon. Last, but not least, take 2-4 Grainsfirst crackers and crumble on top of the lettuce cups to add a tasty, crunchy topping.

Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 8 eggs
  • 3-4 pieces prosciutto
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon finely sliced green onions
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons shallots, finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon madras curry powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons celery, finely diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chives
  • Paprika
  • Breton Original crackers (or favorite Dare cracker variety)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place eggs in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water an inch above eggs. Bring to a boil. Cover pan, remove from heat and let sit for 13 minutes. Drain eggs and run under cold water to cool.
  3. While eggs are cooling, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place prosciutto flat on tray making sure the pieces are not touching. Bake until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Break into small pieces.
  4. Peel eggs and chop or mash with a fork. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, sriracha, green onion, lemon juice, shallots, curry powder, and celery. Fold in eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Place mixture on Breton Original crackers and top with chives, prosciutto chips and a pinch of paprika.
