About

This classic salad consists of slightly bitter frisée leaves, anointed with the runny yolk of egg and enriched with crispy bacon; the palate is completed with a sharp vinaigrette. Virtually every bistro menu in France will offer a variation on this classic.

Follow with Grilled Sirloin Café de Paris or My Roast Tarragon Chicken.
