For my selection I am sharing Lyonnaise Salad. This is a simple bacon and egg salad from the Lyon area of France.
The bacon used is pancetta rather than smoked American bacon. If you buy it already chopped, it is easy to brown in a skillet. You can use the drippings to cook mushrooms and even an egg. Depending on how much drippings you get. Supplement with butter if needed.
It is a good idea to keep the egg yolk runny, as it is generally stirred into the lettuce, I will poach mine but fried is fine. Even soft boiled will do – keep that to about 4-5 minutes.
The mushrooms are optional. I will use those if I have them but otherwise I won’t worry about it. The salad is good either way. If you can source gourmet mushrooms, such as Chanterelle, do so.
