SALAD WITH CANADIAN BACON AND POACHED EGGS



Salad with Canadian Bacon and Poached Eggs image

Categories     Salad     Egg     Leafy Green     Pork     Side     Poach     Quick & Easy     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 oz sliced Canadian bacon, cut into 1- by 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
6 cups torn frisée

Steps:

  • Whisk together mustard, salt, shallots, parsley, and 4 1/2 teaspoons vinegar in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and brown bacon with pepper, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water and 1 teaspoon vinegar and bring to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them evenly. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss frisée with dressing. Serve topped with bacon and eggs.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for thick-cut Canadian bacon and sharp Gouda cheese.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the Canadian bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or ham. Just be sure to heat it through before adding it to the salad.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as hard-boiled eggs, avocado, or tomatoes.
  • For a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing instead of Caesar dressing.

Conclusion:

This Canadian bacon and Gouda salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try.
