Eating our Low FODMAP Frisée Salad with Poached Egg, Bacon & Sourdough Croutons will take you to a Parisian bistro, even if it’s just in your dreams! Our version is just like the classic French salad but re-imagined to be low FODMAP.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet until shimmering and add torn bread. Season with salt and pepper and toss around until sourdough is light golden brown. Remove and set aside. No need to clean out skillet. Cook bacon in same skillet until beginning to crisp, moving the pieces around often to cook evenly. Add scallion greens and keep sautéing bacon and scallions until bacon is crisp and scallions are softened. You want about 2 tablespoons of fat left in the pan. Discard any excess, or add additional olive oil if needed. Add vinegar to pan and simmer briefly, maybe 15 to 30 seconds, tossing bacon and a scallion greens around with the vinegar, scraping up any crusty bits. Set aside; keep warm.
If you are still having issues making perfect poached eggs, there are a few things to consider.
• Fresh eggs are best for poaching; their whites will hold together better.
• If you are still having problems, try adding 2 teaspoons of white vinegar to the water.
• Try doing only one or two eggs at a time. Might be easier to handle and keep track of.
You can also poach eggs ahead of time:
• To make poached eggs ahead, don't poach them quite as long. Then place poached eggs in ice water as soon as they come out of the skillet. They can be refrigerated in an airtight container filled with cold water for up to 2 days. Heat a pot of water to a boil, remove from heat and submerge eggs for about 30 to 60 seconds, then use.
