Ingredients

  •  eggs 
  • large head salad leaves curly endive 
  • 0.3 cup red wine vinegar 
  • tablespoons shallots minced
  • slices bacon thick-cut cut into 1/ matchsticks
  • tablespoons vinegar white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • ladle
  • pot

Directions

  1. Bring a saucepan or pot of water to a gentle simmer with the white vinegar—it should be barely bubbling. Crack the eggs (one at a time) into a ladle or small bowl, then lower or slip them into the water in one quick motion. Gently guide the eggs back into a compact shape if the whites spread out too much. Cook until the whites are completely set, 3-5 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, fry the bacon over medium-high heat in a skillet until browned and rendered, about 3-4 minutes, then ad the shallots for an additional minute.
  3. Remove from the heat, add the red wine vinegar, and stir well to incorporate,
  4. Toss the frisée in the dressing until well-coated, then season with salt and pepper. Plate, and top each salad with a poached egg. Finish with extra pepper.
