Categories: Sides

Ingredients

• 2 slices bacon
• 1 cup thinly sliced shallots
• 3 tbsp. grapeseed or avocado oil
• 1 lb. green beans, trimmed
• Pinch of salt, plus 1/2 tsp, divided
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Directions

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then crumble.

2. Separate shallot slices into rings. Add oil and the shallots to the pan and cook, stirring often, until browned, 3 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to the plate with the bacon. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

3. Add green beans to the pan and cook, stirring often, until browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Add water, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and season with pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.

4. Grate eggs on the large holes of a box grater. Serve the green beans topped with the shallots, bacon and eggs.
