Description

A classic French Lyonnaise salad featuring crisp frisée lettuce, warm bacon, succulent poached eggs, and a tangy Dijon‑mustard vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 cups frisée lettuce, rinsed and torn into bite‑size pieces
  • 6 oz thick-cut bacon or lardons, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: croutons or toasted baguette slices

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving the rendered fat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together shallot, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil and 1–2 tbsp of the warm bacon fat to emulsify.
  3. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack eggs individually into a small bowl, then gently slip into simmering water. Poach 3–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm; repeat for second egg.
  4. Place frisée in a large salad bowl. Add warm bacon and drizzle vinaigrette over greens. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Divide salad between plates, topping each with a poached egg. Season with cracked pepper and add croutons if using.
  6. Serve immediately so the yolk melds into the salad dressing.

Notes

  • Use good-quality bacon or lardons for best flavor.
  • Ensure poaching water is gently simmering—not boiling—to keep eggs intact.
  • Adjust dressing acidity by varying vinegar-to-oil ratio.
  • Frisée is traditional, but you can blend with baby greens if preferred.
  • Add a splash of warm bacon fat to vinaigrette for extra richness.
