Balsamic Egg Bruschetta / Salad
"This is one of my favorite dishes which I made when I had very limited things on hand. I make it often now. This can be eaten warm or cold. I prefer room temperature. Good balsamic vinegar makes a difference. It can be eaten alone or on toasted bread. I find if I cannot find a decent tomato or it is not tomato season it is better to use sun-dried. The amounts of oil and vinegar you use should be according to your personal taste."

I used the basic idea of this & just added what I could find in the fridge & pantry. I used shredded sweet onions, marinated peppers & some crushed tomatoes I had leftover with some dried basil & the last of my balsamic which fell short of the recipe measurements. All in all this was quite a nice lunch on some toast. I melted my parmesan on top so my filling was a little warm which was nice as it quite cold here at the moment. A lovely & different idea for boiled eggs. Thanks for posting!

i am a stay at home mother, formerly a kindergarten teacher. one of my favorite cookbooks is "home cooking" by laurie colwin.
i love to cook but other than my 3 yr old daughter and myself, i really dont have anyone to cook for. my daughter eats lots of broccoli and fresh garlic dishes and loves to help me in the kitchen preparing the food that she and i eat. i try to follow a strict organic lifestyle as best i can for my daughter and i.
