Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 2 small heads frisée (curly lettuce) greens
  • 6 slices baguette (french stick bread)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced chives
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 120 g pancetta

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 235°C.
  • 2
    Wash and dry frisée. Use the lighter color leaves for the salad. Break into small pieces and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • 3
    Unroll the pancetta slices and cut crosswise into half inch strips. Place in a small pan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • 4
    Brush baguette slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides and arrange on a baking sheet. Place in oven and toast, turning once until edges are golden brown-about 3 or 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • 5
    Fill a sauce pan three-fourths full with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar and reduce heat so that water is just below a boil. One at a time, break eggs into a small bowl and slip gently into water. Poach until the whites appear cooked, but the yolks are still liquid — about 3 minutes.
  • 6
    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan and add the drained pancetta. Sauté until golden but not crisp. Deglaze with remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stir for about a minute. Pour over frisée, add chives and toss well. Arrange on individual plates.
  • 7
    Remove eggs from water and drain well on paper towels. Place one egg on each salad.
  • 8
    Add a few turns of black pepper and garnish with baguette slices.
  • Ready !
