Steps
Steps
- 1Fry the bacon in a dry frying pan for 8–10 minutes, until crisp, then drain on kitchen paper and crumble. Hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, cool, peel and chop.
- 2Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar and plenty of pepper.
- 3Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and slice the onion thinly.
- 4In a deep glass bowl, layer the lettuce, then the onion, then the peas straight from the freezer: they thaw in the fridge and keep everything cold and crisp. Add the eggs and season lightly with salt.
- 5Spread the dressing over the top right to the edges of the bowl, so it seals the vegetables underneath and keeps them crisp overnight.
- 6Scatter with the cheddar and then the bacon, cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve with a deep spoon that reaches through every layer.
