About this Recipe

A Cobb Salad is a must-have in any home cook's repertoire. Crunchy greens, crispy bacon, chicken, and tomatoes make up the base of this classic dish. A quick vinaigrette adds a welcome punch of flavor to this recipe, which gets its creaminess from crumbled blue cheese, avocado, and eggs. To make, you'll cook the eggs in the Brava to your preferred doneness, and prep the base of the salad while the eggs cook. Hard boiled eggs are most classic here, but feel free to top this salad with soft or medium boiled eggs, too.

  1. 1

    Boil eggs

    • Select “Classic Cobb Salad” on Brava and follow instructions to boil eggs to your preferred doneness. Hard-boiled is most classic, but any doneness works here, too. While the eggs cook, prepare the dressing.

  2. 2

    Prepare salad dressing

    • In mixing bowl, combine shallot, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and few pinches of kosher salt. Let sit for several minutes to soften the shallots.
    • Slowly whisk in extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cool & peel eggs

    • When Brava notifies you, remove pan and run cold water over eggs to prevent overcooking.
    • Submerge in ice water for 5-10 minutes for even easier peeling. Halve the eggs lengthwise, slice into quarters lengthwise, or chop into small pieces, whichever you prefer.

  4. 4

    Finish & serve

    • In serving bowl, add romaine, chicken, bacon, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese, avocado, and chives. Toss with dressing until evenly coated, top with eggs, freshly cracked black pepper, and serve.
