Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup frisée lettuce
  • 4 slices bacon (thick-cut)
  • 2 large eggs (preferably poached)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (shaved)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon capers (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup croutons (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

    Reserve some bacon fat for dressing.
  2. Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

    Add a touch of honey for sweetness if desired.
  3. Toss the Lettuce

    In a large bowl, combine frisée lettuce and croutons, then drizzle with dressing and toss to combine.

    Make sure the lettuce is well coated.
  4. Poach the Eggs

    In a pot of simmering water, poach the eggs until the whites are set and yolks are still runny.

    Add a splash of vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape.
  5. Assemble the Salad

    Plate the dressed lettuce, crumbled bacon, poached eggs, and shaved parmesan on top.

    Garnish with chopped parsley and capers if using.
