Salade Lyonnaise

• Ingredients
• 8 ounces frisee (1-2 large heads)

5. 4.Fry the shallots until the just start turning brown and are very fragrant. Add the vinegar, mustard, honey and salt, and whisk the mixture together to create an emulsion. Add the parsley.
6. 5.Put the frisee into a bowl along with the lardon and pour the warm dressing over the salad. Toss to coat.
7. 6.To plate, put a croissant on the plate, cover with the salad, then top with a poached egg. Serve immediately with some fresh ground pepper.
