Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe peaches
• 4 mini sweet peppers
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
• 4 cups baby arugula
• 4 soft-boiled eggs
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
• 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

1. 1Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook exactly 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 3 minutes, then peel and set aside.
2. 2While the eggs cook, rinse the peaches, peppers, and arugula. Pat everything dry so the dressing clings properly.
3. 3Halve and pit the peaches, then cut into thin wedges. Slice the mini peppers into thin rings, discarding stems and any seeds.
4. 4Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into neat half-moons. Tear the basil leaves into rough pieces.
5. 5In a small jar or bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon, salt, and pepper until the dressing looks emulsified and slightly thickened.
6. 6In a large wide bowl, toss the arugula with two-thirds of the dressing so every leaf is lightly coated but not soggy.
7. 7Arrange the dressed arugula on four plates or shallow bowls. Artfully scatter the peach wedges, pepper rings, and avocado slices over the greens.
8. 8Halve each soft-boiled egg and nestle two halves onto each plate so the jammy yolk is visible.
9. 9Drizzle the remaining dressing over the fruit and eggs. Sprinkle with goat cheese, pepitas, and torn basil.
10. 10Finish with a final crack of black pepper. Serve right away while the eggs are still slightly warm and the peaches are cool and juicy.
