Best 6 Frisee Salad With Bacon And Poached Eggs Recipes

FRISEE SALAD WITH BACON AND POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Tear the frisee into bite-size pieces and put in a large bowl.
• In a large heavy skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove the bacon and drain off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet.
• Fill a large saucepan half way with water and stir in the white vinegar. Heat the liquid to just below a simmer. Break each egg into a teacup. With a spoon, create a whirlpool or tornado effect in the saucepan. Slide 1 egg into the simmering liquid. Just on the surface of the liquid, continue the whirlpool to assist the white in wrapping around the yolk. Add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time using the same method. Simmer the eggs about 2 minutes. Immediately remove the eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Reheat the bacon fat in the skillet over moderate heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the sherry vinegar and boil until 1 tablespoon liquid remains. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and honey. Pour the hot dressing over the frisee and toss with salt, and pepper, to taste. Crumble the crisp bacon slices over the salad and garnish with chives, and tarragon.
• For the croutons:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a large sheet tray, drizzle the baguette slices with olive oil and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Cool the croutons.
• Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates and top with the poached eggs and garlic croutons. Season the eggs with salt, and pepper, and serve the salad immediately.

FRISéE SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. To make the toasts, arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil about 4 inches from the heat until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the slices over and toast. Remove from the oven and while warm, rub one side of each toast with the cut surface of the halved garlic clove. Transfer to a rack and set aside.
• Fill a large bowl with water and set aside (use hot water if serving the salad immediately, cold if making the eggs ahead). To poach the eggs, fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water, add the white vinegar, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Break one of the eggs into a ramekin or teacup. Using the handle (not the bowl) of a wooden spoon, swirl the water to create a whirlpool effect, which will help the eggs hold their shape. Decrease the heat to medium-low so the water is at a gentle boil and slide the egg into the center. Reduce the heat and poach the egg until the white is solid and the yolk is firm but still soft to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg and transfer to the bowl of water; set aside. Return the water to a gentle boil, and repeat the process with the other eggs. The eggs can be poached up to 12 hours ahead and refrigerated in a sealed container. To serve them, reheat briefly in hot water.
• Line a plate with paper towels. To cook the bacon, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the prepared plate; set aside.
• To make the dressing, drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the red wine vinegar and stir to combine (the vinegar will emit strong fumes, so keep your face back from the pan).
• Add the greens to the skillet and toss to coat and wilt slightly. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To serve, divide the salad among individual serving plates. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs from the bowl of water to paper towels; gently pat them dry. Place an egg on top of each bed of dressed greens. Garnish with the reserved bacon and season with pepper. Serve with the garlic toasts.

POACHED EGGS WITH FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large, deep saute pan bring 2 1/2-inches of water to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat to a bare simmer. There should only be small, infrequent bubbles on the surface. Add 1/4 cup vinegar and some salt to the water. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, making sure the yolk remains unbroken. Gently slip the egg into the simmering water, using a spoon to make sure the egg is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook to desired degree of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes. When the eggs are done, remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Place on clean paper towels or kitchen towel to drain. Set aside.
• In a small saute pan, cook the bacon until browned and crisp. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the vinegar is reduced by half. Add the sugar and cook until it is dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour half of the bacon dressing over the frisee and toss with croutons. Divide the salad among 6 plates. Top each portion with a poached egg and a drizzle of the remaining dressing.

Add shallot to pan; cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar; bring to a boil, swirling to combine. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Add bacon.
• Break an egg into a small bowl; holding bowl just over simmering vinegar water, gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Poach 1 to 2 minutes (longer for firm yolks). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Return vinaigrette to stove to rewarm if necessary. Pour over frisee and toss gently to combine. Divide evenly among 4 serving plates. Use a slotted spoon to remove poached eggs, and place on the slice of white bread to drain. Top each salad with one egg. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Leave for four minutes. Lay a clean dish towel next to the pan, and using a slotted spoon or spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Set on the towel to drain.
