Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and tear the frisée lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lardons

    In a skillet, cook the bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    Add olive oil and white wine vinegar to the skillet with the bacon fat, whisk together, and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Croûtons

    Cube the crusty bread and toast in the skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    Toss the frisée with the bacon lardons and dressing. Plate the salad, top with poached eggs, and sprinkle with croûtons.
