Mimosa is a classic French garnish of sieved hard-cooked eggs that is frequently used for asparagus and leeks. Tarragon, which has an affinity for both asparagus and eggs, enhances the sherry vinaigrette.
The beauty of this classic bistro salad is the way the poached egg yolk oozes over the greens, cloaking them with rich flavor. Lardons, the bits of chopped slab bacon, provide a salty, meaty contrast. If you can’t find slab bacon, substitute 8 slices of ordinary bacon.
Individual frittatas filled with bacon, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and savory seasoning may be served warm or at room temperature. They are great for brunch for a crowd, buffet gatherings, and luncheons
