  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Fresh greens (arugula or frisée)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing by combining chopped shallots, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Gradually add olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into individual bowls.
  4. Create a whirlpool in the simmering water and slide in the eggs one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, add fresh greens and drizzle with dressing. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove poached eggs from water and drain excess water.
  7. Transfer dressed greens to plates or a platter, making an indentation for each poached egg.
  8. Place a poached egg on each serving and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  9. Drizzle with remaining dressing and add freshly cracked pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best eaten fresh; store greens and dressing separately if preparing in advance.
