FRISéE WITH LARDONS AND POACHED EGGS

Yield serves 4 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
4 large eggs
1 large head frisée (about 5 ounces), washed and spun dry
6 ounces (about 4 slices) thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large, deep skillet of water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; add the white vinegar. Fill a saucepan with warm water; set aside. Break an egg into a small bowl; holding the bowl just over the vinegar water, gently slide the egg into the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach about 2 minutes (longer for firm yolks). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the pan of warm water.
  • Place the frisée in a large bowl; set aside. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the shallot; cook 1 minute. Add the red-wine vinegar; bring to a boil, swirling to combine. Pour over the frisée. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat evenly.
  • Divide among 4 plates. Drain the eggs, and top each salad with one. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the right frisée: Look for tightly curled, dark green leaves with no signs of wilting or bruising. Avoid any heads that have brown or yellow leaves, as these are signs of age and poor quality.
  • Prepare the lardons properly: The lardons should be cut into small, even pieces. This will help them render evenly and prevent them from becoming too crispy. You can also blanch the lardons before cooking them to remove some of the saltiness.
  • Poach the eggs gently: Use a shallow saucepan with just enough water to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a simmer and then carefully slide the eggs into the pan. Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The frisée, lardons, and eggs should be tossed together just before serving. This will prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Frisée with Lardons and Poached Eggs is a classic French dish that is both delicious and elegant. It is a perfect meal for a special occasion or a simple lunch or dinner. The combination of the bitter frisée, the salty lardons, and the runny poached eggs is simply irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home.
