1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, eyeball it
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Sliced the lettuce and arrange on a platter.
Boil egg in a small saucepan full of water. Boil for about 12 minutes. Place in a bowl of iced water for about 5 minutes. Peel under cold running water and slice into four pieces or chop. Place on far left side of bed lettuce.
