Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    Wash and dry the radicchio, endive, and frisée. Tear the greens into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg

    Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the egg and poach for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the croutons and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano to the bowl with the greens. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with your favorite Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade) and toss again to coat the greens and croutons evenly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully place the poached egg on top of the salad. Serve immediately, allowing each person to break the egg over their salad for added creaminess.
