This dish makes a great appetizer or pairs well with a side of fried rice to make it more of a meal.
Ingredients: · 1/2-pound thick cut bacon or lardon, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or strips · 1 small shallot, chopped · 2 tablespoons good quality sherry vinegar (or whatever vinegar you prefer) · 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard · 2 tablespoons olive oil · Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste · 4 cups torn frisée or curly endive, washed and dried · 2 large eggs, as fresh as possible · Optional: shaved Gruyère to taste |
Instructions:
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add bacon and cook slowly until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
2. Add the chopped shallot and sauté in the bacon fat until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly drizzle in oil until vinaigrette is emulsified. Add reserved bacon and frisée and toss to combine. Divide into 2 plates.
3. Bring an inch of salted water to a boil in a saucepan. When boiling, reduce the heat so the water is just simmering, barely bubbling. Crack eggs, one at a time, into a ramekin or small shallow bowl. Using a slotted spoon, swirl water and slide the eggs into the water. Cook until whites are set, and yolk has filmed over, about 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs and place on salad. Garnish eggs with salt and pepper.
4. Add shaved Gruyére, if using, and serve!
