Green Bean Salad with Egg Topping

Method

Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.

Add the beans and cook for 6 minutes.

Drain well and toss the beans in olive oil and allow it to cool.

Heat the butter in a large frying pan and add the breadcrumbs and fry until they turn golden.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped parsley and then grate in the egg.

Place the beans in a shallow box and spoon on the breadcrumb topping.

The salad can be prepared in advance and then chilled until needed.
