Warm Frisée-Lardon Salade with Poached Eggs in Red-Wine SauceRomulo Yanes

(Salade Tiede aux Oeufs en Meurette)

Two grand bistro classics meet here: the frisée aux lardons salad with a poached egg, and oeufs en meurette (poached eggs in a red-wine sauce). Frisée, with its slightly bitter flavor and sturdy but delicate texture, stands up beautifully to the rich, concentrated sauce and the warm poached egg.

Cooks' note:

Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered (once cool).
