Serves 4

2 egg yolks

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

2 anchovy fillets, rinsed

1/2 cup olive oil

white pepper

4 small chicken breast fillets

2 baby cos lettuce, trimmed, halved lengthways

2 tsp white wine vinegar, extra

4 eggs (as fresh as possible)

finely grated parmesan, to serve

freshly ground black pepper, to serve

Place egg yolks, vinegar, mustard and anchovy fillets into a small food processor. Process until combined. With motor running, add 1/2 cup oil in a slow, steady stream until a smooth, thick sauce forms. Season with salt and white pepper. For a thinner sauce add warm water, 1 tbsp at a time.

Heat a chargrill pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken fillets and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover and stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Place a lettuce half onto each serving plate. Place chicken beside lettuce and spoon dressing over lettuce.

Bring a deep saucepan of water to the boil over a high heat. Add vinegar to water. Reduce heat to medium low. Crack an egg into a cup. Using a slotted spoon, stir water to form a whirlpool. Slide egg into water. Repeat with another egg. Cook for 2 minutes or until eggwhite is set. Remove eggs, one at a time, with a slotted spoon and place onto salad. Cook remaining eggs and place onto salad. Sprinkle with parmesan and black pepper. Serve.
