Today’s Lyonnaise salad recipe is more than just greens, bacon, and eggs combined; with the addition of a simple dressing, they’ve become something much more special. Before jumping to the recipe card, however, here are some words about the background of this fancy-looking and easy-to-make salad.
Ingredients
1 ounce white bread (cubed)
3 ounces water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 medium egg
1 ounce bacon
4 ounces brown mushrooms (diced)
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon traditional dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces frisée lettuce
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
Make the croutons: Bake the cubed 1 oz white bread in an air fryer at 300℉ for 13 minutes.
Poach the eggs: In a small pot, pour in 3 cups water and 2 tbsp white vinegar and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Crack 4 medium egg into a small shallow bowl. Using a slotted spoon, swirl the water and slide the eggs into it. Simmer for about 1 minute until the white is set and the yolk is filmed over. Using a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs to a bowl of cool water.
Cook the bacon: In a small pan, add 1 oz bacon, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. When completely cooled, chop into small pieces.
Cook the mushrooms: In the same pan, add 4 oz brown mushrooms and stir fry for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Make the dressing: Combine 1 large egg yolk and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Then add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp red wine vinegar and swirl to combine. Pour 2 tbsp olive oil into the mixture.
