Chicory Salad With Bacon Crispy Potatoes And Fried Egg Recipes

Steps:

• In a dry skillet, toast the nuts over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, mustard, salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a large bowl, toss the chicory with the dressing. Put onto serving plates and top with walnuts and shaved Parmesan.

Steps:

• Finely grate half of the Parmesan into a large bowl. Add shallot, vinegar, honey, and 5 Tbsp. oil and whisk well; season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, turning once, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and rosemary to paper towels.
• Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to skillet and heat over medium-high. Arrange mushrooms in pan in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and continue to cook, tossing often, until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing, but don't toss. Strip rosemary leaves off stems into bowl and add chicory.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat so water is at a bare simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl; gently slide egg into water. Quickly repeat with remaining eggs. Poach, rotating eggs gently with a large slotted spoon, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss salad to coat leaves; season with salt and divide among plates. Shave remaining Parmesan over and top with bacon and poached eggs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat garlic and 2 tablespoons oil in a small saute pan over medium heat until oil is bubbling. Discard garlic; drizzle oil over bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Whisk mustard, anchovy, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in red-wine vinegar. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in white vinegar. Break eggs into separate cups; slide eggs into water. Cook 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Toss chicory with vinaigrette. Divide among 4 plates. Top each with an egg; sprinkle with bacon and croutons.
