For perfectly cooked eggs with no feathering of whites, poach in shallow, not-quite-simmering water.

Escarole, a kind of chicory, is a leafy green that looks like green leaf lettuce. Its bitter flavor makes it a great choice for hearty salads with rich ingredients - like bacon and eggs - and assertive flavored dressings.
