POACHED EGG WILD MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallot and thyme; cook, stirring frequently, until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden, about 10 minutes. Spoon into large bowl; add escarole, pepper and cheese.
• Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette dressing over escarole mixture and toss to coat. Divide among four plates.
• Fill saucepan with about 3 inches (8 cm) of water. Heat until water simmers gently. Break cold egg into small dish or saucer. Holding dish just above simmering water, gently slip egg into water. Repeat for remaining eggs. Cook in barely simmering water until white is set and yolk is cooked as desired, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove eggs with slotted spoon. Drain well on paper towel, then place on top of salads.

FRISéE AND WILD MUSHROOM SALAD WITH POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place mushrooms in large bowl. Toss with 4 tablespoons oil. Scatter mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Roast until tender, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool up to 2 hours.
• Place large bowl of cool water near stovetop. Pour additional water into large skillet to reach depth of 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and generous sprinkling of coarse salt to skillet. Bring water to simmer over medium heat. Crack eggs, 1 at a time, into water (whites may spread). Simmer until whites are cooked through and yolks are still soft, occasionally spooning water over, about 3 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to bowl of cool water. Reserve skillet with poaching water. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Bring reserved skillet of water to simmer. Rewarm eggs 1 minute.
• Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in another large bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with coarse salt and pepper. Add frisée, radishes, and mushrooms and toss to coat. Divide salad among plates. Top each salad with poached egg and serve.

POACHED EGGS WITH FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large, deep saute pan bring 2 1/2-inches of water to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat to a bare simmer. There should only be small, infrequent bubbles on the surface. Add 1/4 cup vinegar and some salt to the water. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, making sure the yolk remains unbroken. Gently slip the egg into the simmering water, using a spoon to make sure the egg is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook to desired degree of doneness, 3 to 5 minutes. When the eggs are done, remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Place on clean paper towels or kitchen towel to drain. Set aside.
• In a small saute pan, cook the bacon until browned and crisp. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the vinegar is reduced by half. Add the sugar and cook until it is dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour half of the bacon dressing over the frisee and toss with croutons. Divide the salad among 6 plates. Top each portion with a poached egg and a drizzle of the remaining dressing.
