Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 palmful
Salt
1/2 cup EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
5 thick slices crusty bread
6 bacon slices, coarsely chopped
2 shallots, chopped
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (eyeball it)
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (eyeball it)
8 eggs
2 heads chicory, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
2 heads endive, leaves pulled from the core
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, a generous handful, chopped
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, chili powder, a couple of pinches of salt, and 3 tablespoons of the EVOO. Dice the bread into small cubes (think "crouton"). Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss them to completely coat them with oil. Transfer the coated bread cubes to a cookie sheet and spread them out in an even layer. (Reserve the oiled bowl.) Toast in the oven until golden, about 8 minutes. Give the cookie sheet a good shake halfway through the cooking.
  • Fill a large skillet with warm water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the bacon and cook until it is crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the crispy bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Return the pan to the heat and cook the shallots and jalapeño in the bacon drippings over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the lime juice and zest, some black pepper, and the mustard until well combined. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup of EVOO until it is combined. Heads up: if you get one of those limes that are stingy with the juice, add another splash of vinegar to the dressing, or bump it up to 2 limes.
  • Pour the remaining tablespoon of vinegar into the simmering water. Crack an egg into a small bowl, without breaking the yolk. Gently pour the egg into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining 7 eggs. Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes for runny yolks, or about 4 for solid yolks. Do not allow the water to boil-the bubbles are rough on the delicate eggs! Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon to a towel-lined plate to drain.
  • While the eggs are poaching, tear the chicory into bite-size pieces and chop the endive into thin strips. Put the greens in the same bowl you tossed the bread in. Add the dressing, cilantro, parsley, chili croutons, and crispy bacon and toss well with tongs. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top each with 2 poached eggs. Season the salad with more salt and freshly ground black pepper.

32 CLASSIC FRENCH RECIPES TO MAKE AT HOME - MARTHA STEWART

From marthastewart.com
  • Olive Tapenade. This pungent Provençal spread of olives, anchovies, capers, and garlic is one of our go-to appetizers for easy entertaining. It pairs well with sliced baguette or crudités.
  • Chocolate Mousse. Almost every French restaurant has chocolate mousse on its menu; not all are as good as this one. Our recipe has just five ingredients—egg yolks, sugar, heavy cream, bittersweet chocolate, and vanilla.
  • Steak Tartare. Bring the bistro to your house with this classic French appetizer. Be sure to use the best quality beef tenderloin you can find and freeze the meat for a short time so it firms up and is easier to cut into small, even pieces.
  • Coq au Vin. One of the most famed French dishes, coq au vin is a rich chicken stew made with red wine and a touch of Cognac. The result is a luxuriously rich, velvety sauce studded with bacon and mushrooms.
  • Crème Caramel. A silky baked custard with a caramel topping, crème caramel is also known as crème renversée. This is because the caramel is on the bottom when the dish is assembled and baked, and then the individual flans are inverted for serving, revealing the caramel.
