Method
step 1
Cut the frisée into manageable lengths and shred the chicory leaves, arranging on a flat plate or platter. Sprinkle on the pecans. Divide the goat’s cheese between the croutons on a small baking tray and grill briefly under a high heat.
step 2
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in 1 tbsp oil until deeply golden. Add the vinegar to the pan – it will sizzle so carefully swirl/stir to combine and lightly season.
step 3
Spoon the bacon and dressing over the leaves and add the croutons and goat’s cheese. Serve.
