Bacon, Egg & Asparagus Salad

Per Nana ~

Many years ago when hubby and I started

 traveling to Paris, we always stayed at the

Prince Albert Hotel in the 1st Arrondisement.

  It was an ideal location for sightseeing- very near the

Rue de Rivoli, the Louvre and wonderful chocolatiers.

After walking all day, we always stopped at a wonderful

wine bar - Le Rubis - on Rue St. Hyacinthe & Rue du Marche.

We would then go to a restaurant nearby,
on the Place du Marche. 

 That restaurant had the most delicious salad with a tiny

 poached egg on top and the dressing was made with

the addition of warm bacon drippings. 

It was the most wonderful salad I had ever eaten.

Which brings me to this week's recipe for FFwD, which I had to admit.....surpassed the salad I had in Paris.

When I first read the recipe for cooking the egg, I had my doubts. 

 I tried just one egg a la Dorie and hardboiled the rest.

  I did not believe the egg would be cooked, but I was so wrong. 

I gave the hardboiled egg to hubby and I add the

 6 minute egg to my plate. 

I added some bacon drippings to the dressing for extra flavor

and a few cold chickpeas that were leftover from another meal. 

 OMG, it was delicious ~

After a wedding last weekend in Brooklyn

 (Congrats Colleen and Sean !!) which was followed

up by a business trip to DC, I knew I would be cutting

 it close trying to get even salad done by Friday :) 

 I am posting this with Nana's great story that she shared

 and will update with my own results when

I make the salad for hubby....who loves this kind of stuff. 

 Right now I am trying to knock out a few more

Bacon Quiches from last week for company

that is coming tonight.  Does that give me partial credit ?
