“This is made in early spring, usually Easter, when the new dandelions are sweet and crisp. It is from my grandma, Callie Brosius, who was Pennsylvania Dutch and a great cook. This is usually served with boiled potatoes with ham at Easter. ” - by Cookerof2

Ingredients

7 slices bacon
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

3/4 pound torn dandelion greens

Directions

Fry bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and milk. Set aside. Heat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly until the flour is browned, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in the liquid so that no lumps form and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Crumble the bacon into the skillet and add the dandelion greens. Cook and stir just until the greens are wilted and heated through.
