This delicious, satisfying lettuce salad highlights frisée lettuce with soft-boiled eggs and croutons made with wild garlic soda bread. Pairing with a warm bacon vinaigrette, which works fabulously with pleasantly bitter, peppery curly endive leaves and runny yolks. Instead of croutons, you can use nuts, seeds or some roasted potatoes if you want to use up some leftover.

- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 6 minutes. Transfer to a colander, place under cold running water to stop the cooking.
- Meanwhile, tear the soda bread into bite-sized chunks. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium until shimmering. Add torn soda bread and stir well to evenly coat in oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crunchy. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Peel the shallot, then thinly slice crosswise. Slice the chives into 2cm batons. Thoroughly wash and dry frisée. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat the same skillet that you used to make crountons over medium. Add in diced bacon, stirring frequently, until just shy of crisp, 4–5 minutes. Add sliced shallots and season generously with freshly ground black pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are just softened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in red wine vinegar and honey, stirring to combine. Taste and season.
- Toss frisée, bacon vinaigrette, croutons, and chives to combine. Divide salad between plates or bowls and top with soft-boiled eggs.

...Angie, this looks like a treat!
Frisée Is mot very popular here and is therefore difficult to find. But this recipe looks like it’s worth the effort.
Those croutons look delish and eggs too! I made just boiled potatoes mixed with fried onion for lunch today.
You're bringing me back to my Paris days, Angie! Ah the memories... and this was perhaps my favorite salad of all time.
The perfect salads to have
looks very healthy and delicious love the garlic bread addition
I tuoi piatti sono sempre tanto invitanti, complimenti!!!
This looks so delicious, and it's so beautifully presented.

Has preparado una ensalada semi-fría muy completa y variada. Los huevos y los picatostes formando parte de ella, me han seducido.
That looks delicious and I am craving that bacon dressing.
I love all the ingredients, and the resulting salad looks very appealing with the boiled eggs on top! Thanks, Angie.
That looks sensationally good
Angie, That is a wonderful looking salad. Lots of texture and variety! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
That looks totally delicious Angie. And that warm bacon dressing.... well, I think I will have to make this soon!
Angie a light salad for the hot days you will soon have there.
I would eat eggs, but with arugula lettuce and mayonnaise.

It looks so nice.
Many thanks for sharing this recipe.
All the best Jan
We don't have that kind of lettuce here, but I think this sounds very like our wilted lettuce, except you don't wilt the lettuce. I like your method much better.
Angie, this looks great! It's been too long since I've made a salad with frisee. Perfect for springtime.
You had me at Warm Bacon vinaigrette Angie, sounds wonderful!

I sometimes make a salad that resembles yours and it's just delicious!
Mmmm. My kind of salad.
This frisée lettuce salad with soft-boiled eggs and wild garlic soda bread croutons sounds like a delightful combination of flavors and textures!
This salad is a game-changer! Crisp frisée lettuce, creamy soft-boiled eggs, and savory bacon vinaigrette create a perfect balance of flavors. With garlic soda bread croutons adding crunch and depth, this dish is a winner. Versatile and satisfying, it's a must-try for any occasion!
This reminds me of salade Lyonnaise , which we had several times when we were south of Paris. Wonderful summer meal! David (C&L)
How great! I love salads. I'd love to try this.
