Frisée Salad With Poached Egg image

This is inspired by a classic French country salad. The traditional dish includes thick-cut bacon, but this version is great without the meat. You can serve it as a starter, but I like to make a meal of it.

Time 4m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 heads frisée, tender light green leaves only, washed and dried (about 6 cups), or 6 cups mixed baby lettuces, washed and dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon or chives
1 sweet red pepper, very thinly sliced
6 thin slices baguette or whole grain bread, toasted, rubbed with a cut clove of garlic and cut into squares
6 large or extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon vinegar (any kind)
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, champagne vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced or pureed
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons walnut oil

Steps:

  • Combine the lettuce, herbs, red pepper and croutons in a large bowl.
  • Poach the eggs. Fill a lidded frying pan with water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water. One at a time, break the eggs into a teacup, then tip from the teacup into the pan (do this in batches if necessary). Immediately turn off the heat under the pan and cover tightly. Leave for four minutes. Lay a clean dish towel next to the pan, and using a slotted spoon or spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Set on the towel to drain.
  • Whisk together the vinegars, salt, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil. Toss with the salad until thoroughly coated, and distribute among six salad plates. Top each serving with a poached egg. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with some thyme leaves and serve.

I'm going to try this recipe with arugula instead of frisée.

I used a store-bought poached egg instead of making my own. It worked just fine.

I'm a vegetarian, so I left out the anchovies. The salad was still delicious!

I'm not sure how I feel about the anchovies. I think they might be a bit too salty for me.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe! The peppery frisée is perfectly balanced by the salty anchovies, creamy poached egg, and tangy dressing.

This salad is a great option for a light and healthy lunch or dinner. It's also very easy to make, which is a bonus.

The dressing was a bit too oily for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using a little less olive oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but they really added a nice salty flavor to this salad. I would definitely recommend using them if you like anchovies.

The poached egg was the star of this dish. It was perfectly cooked and added a richness to the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had some frisée in my fridge that was starting to wilt, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.
