Wash and dry the Brussels Sprouts then trim off the rough ends if needed.
Thinly slice the sprouts, shredding them, and add to a large bowl.
I love adding nuts to my salads!
Pecans are my favorite but almonds and walnuts are tasty too.
Add the nuts to a dry skillet and toast for a few minutes over medium heat.
Be sure to stir so they do not burn!
Cook two large eggs to your desired doneness.
I like over easy or over medium.
For the Maple Vinaigrette whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
