Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 tablespoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
3 to 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Pinch crushed red pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, such as Roquefort, Cabrales, or Gongonzola Piquante
Salt
3 cups frisee, tough outer parts removed, washed and spun dry
3 to 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Place 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the cut bacon and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until it has become brown and crispy and a lot of fat has been rendered. This is a good thing!
  • Place the bacon and the fat into a bowl large enough to fit all of the ingredients. Add the vinegar and the blue cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt. Add the frisee and gently toss to combine. If a little more oil or vinegar is needed do so in small increments and taste as you go. The salad should be well seasoned and dressed but not soggy. Divide the salad onto 4 individual serving plates. Sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.

"My sister-in-law gave me this great recipe, which includes two of my favorite ingredients-blue cheese and pears. Yum!" writes Kate Hilts of Grand Rapids, Michigan. TIP: "Instead of a loaf of French bread, I usually buy a baguette and cut it at an angle to give the slices a nice look," Kate adds.
