FIG, BACON AND FRISEE SALAD
Sweet, rich figs are great companions for bitter greens, bacon and black pepper. And if your figs are super-ripe, they will be creamy too, kind of like the soft egg yolks in the classic French salad of frisee, bacon and poached egg.

Steps:
- Put the bacon in a medium skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon renders its fat and is crisp but not dry, about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a mixing bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings; discard the rest.
- Add the shallot to the hot skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, another 3 minutes. Turn the heat to low and add the vinegar, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir into the bacon.
- Add the frisee to the bacon mixture and toss to coat with the bacon drippings. Taste, season with salt, if necessary, add a very generous amount of black pepper and toss again. Now add the figs and toss. Transfer to a large platter and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Tear the frisee into bite-size pieces and put in a large bowl.
- In a large heavy skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove the bacon and drain off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet.
- Fill a large saucepan half way with water and stir in the white vinegar. Heat the liquid to just below a simmer. Break each egg into a teacup. With a spoon, create a whirlpool or tornado effect in the saucepan. Slide 1 egg into the simmering liquid. Just on the surface of the liquid, continue the whirlpool to assist the white in wrapping around the yolk. Add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time using the same method. Simmer the eggs about 2 minutes. Immediately remove the eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
- Reheat the bacon fat in the skillet over moderate heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the sherry vinegar and boil until 1 tablespoon liquid remains. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and honey. Pour the hot dressing over the frisee and toss with salt, and pepper, to taste. Crumble the crisp bacon slices over the salad and garnish with chives, and tarragon.
- For the croutons:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a large sheet tray, drizzle the baguette slices with olive oil and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Cool the croutons.
- Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates and top with the poached eggs and garlic croutons. Season the eggs with salt, and pepper, and serve the salad immediately.
FRISéE AUX LARDONS
Here is a bistro salad classic of curly endive with bacon and poached egg that demands a kind of ruthlessness from its cooks. You want curly endive with tender, blanched centers. That means the darker green outer leaves must be removed and not used in the dish. You want to expose the pale inner leaves and keep them looking as natural as possible. Don't chop them. For the lardons, use bacon or, if you don't want its smoky taste, unsmoked pancetta. And when you fry them, take care to brown the lardons lightly so that they are crisp, but with a little give. Don't overcook them, or the egg.

Steps:
- Wash and dry curly endive, place in a shallow salad bowl and refrigerate.
- In a small skillet, simmer bacon for about 5 minutes in a small amount of water. Drain and dry skillet, then cook bacon over medium heat until lightly browned and crisp, but still a bit springy.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together mustard, vinegar and garlic. Whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put a low-sided skillet on the stove and fill two-thirds with salted water. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a cup and carefully lower into the water. Poach eggs for 3 to 4 minutes, until whites have set and yolks are still soft. With a slotted spoon, remove to a towel-lined plate.
- Lightly salt endive and toss with vinaigrette, coating well. Divide greens among 4 plates, place an egg in center of each, then add 3 croutons. Spoon warm lardons over salads. Shower with freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Turn the heat off and whisk the shallots into the bacon grease. There should be about 1/4 cup of bacon grease; if it's shy of that amount, add some extra-virgin olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and Dijon until emulsified. Add in the bacon grease mixture and whisk. Whisk in the salt and pepper.
- To poach the eggs: Fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add a little vinegar if using. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water one at a time, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water and blot dry with a paper towel.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the frisee with the dressing and bacon. Divide the lettuce among 4 serving bowls and top each with an egg and a sprinkle of chives.
