Ingredients
- 8 c. frisee - (8 ounce) rinsed, crisped
- Â Â (or possibly tender inner curly endive leaves)
- 1/4 lb French bread sliced, toasted
- 1/2 lb side bacon cut 1/4" dice
- 3 lrg Large eggs - (to 4)
- 1/4 c. white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- Â Â Salt to taste
- Â Â Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- Tear frisee into bite-size pcs and place in a wide salad bowl.
- Tear bread into 1/2-inch chunks and scatter over the greens.
- Put bacon in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat and stir often till browned and crisp, 10 to 12 min. With a slotted spoon, transfer to towels to drain.
- Break Large eggs into drippings in pan, and when whites are hard on the bottom, slide a spatula under each egg and, if you like, carefully turn over. Cook till whites are no longer clear, about 1 minute total. With spatula, transfer Large eggs to a plate (place side by side); keep hot.
- Quickly throw away all but 2 Tbsp. fat from pan. Turn heat to high, add in vinegar and mustard, and whisk till mix boils.
- Pour warm dressing over frisee and bread, add in bacon, and mix. Spoon into wide bowls and top each serving with a warm egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- This recipe yields 3 or possibly 4 servings.
- Comments: On my first serious eating trip to Paris, I made a mini culinary tour of the whole country by hitting the best of the city's regional restaurants. I had read in Larousse Gastronomique which Lyon was the culinary capital of France - famous for the poultry of Bresse and lots of pigs. So Aux Lyonnaise represented rich turf. One of those Lyonnaise porkers had, no doubt, given all for the bacon (lardon) in the time-honored salad I ordered - a meal well suited to a chilling night.
- If side bacon is not available, cut sliced bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch pcs.
