Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon until crisp and brown, set aside in the skillet. Meanwhile, fill a clean skillet with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer. Add white vinegar . Break 4 eggs into separate ramekins or coffee cups. Slide eggs, 1 at a time into simmering liquid and immediately push white around yolk with a slotted spoon, moving gently, making sure each egg is completely covered with the egg white before adding the next. Simmer for about 1 1/2 minutes for runny yolks to about 3 minutes for firm yolks. Remove eggs to a skillet of warm water.

Reheat bacon in its skillet over moderate heat. Add shallot, and cook stirring for about 1 minute. Add red wine vinegar and boil for 5 seconds. Immediately pour hot dressing over frisee and toss with salt and pepper to taste. Top each portion with a poached egg.
