Contents of your meal kit:

apple
gruyere
leeks
cider vinaigrette base
garden greens
toasted pecans
Equipment needed: mixing bowl, oven-safe nonstick skillet (see note), salad bowl
Finishing steps:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler. Using a damp towel, gently wipe mushrooms of any dirt. Trim the end of mushroom stems and slice into ¼” slices. Chop sage. Thinly slice apple. Set everything aside.
- Crack eggs into a bowl and season generously with salt & pepper. Whisk together. Add gruyere and stir.
- Heat a small amount of oil in an oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of chicken with salt & pepper. When oil is hot, cook chicken 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Add more oil to skillet if needed, and increase heat to med-high. Add mushrooms and cook, until golden and liquid has evaporated. Remove from skillet and place on paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Wipe skillet with a paper towel, add a little more oil. Reduce heat to low, add leeks and sage. Cook until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes. If leeks begin to brown, add a splash of water. Return mushrooms to skillet, stir to combine.
- Pour egg mixture into skillet, stir once to combine, then immediately transfer to oven. Cook under broiler until puffed in center and lightly brown (1-3 minutes). Insert a knife into the center to test for doneness. Slide onto a plate, or let cool slightly to slice and serve directly from skillet.
- Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of a salad bowl, add an equal amount of olive oil and whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before tossing with the greens. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Top with apples, and pecans. If desired, slice chicken and add to salad, or serve on the side.
Note: Use a small skillet for 2 portions, medium for 4/6 portions. Most skillets are oven safe for a brief amount of time. If yours has a plastic or rubber handle, wrap foil around it to protect. Aren’t sure about putting yours in the oven? Check the website for an alternative option.
