4 servings

Ingredients

4 oz. Parmesan

1 medium shallot, finely chopped

1/4 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. honey

7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

8 oz. slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2″ pieces

2 (8″-long) sprigs rosemary

1 lb. mixed wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, maitake, and/or oyster), woody stems removed.

chicory (such as radicchio, escarole, and/or frisée), leaves torn into 3″ pieces

4 large eggs

Step 1

Finely grate half of the Parmesan into a large bowl. Add shallot, vinegar, honey, and 5 Tbsp. oil and whisk well; season dressing with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, turning once, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and rosemary to paper towels.

Step 3

Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to skillet and heat over medium-high. Arrange mushrooms in pan in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and continue to cook, tossing often, until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing, but don’t toss. Strip rosemary leaves off stems into bowl and add chicory.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat so water is at a bare simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl; gently slide egg into water. Quickly repeat with remaining eggs. Poach, rotating eggs gently with a large slotted spoon, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Toss salad to coat leaves; season with salt and divide among plates. Shave remaining Parmesan over and top with bacon and poached eggs.
