4 pieces thick-cut bacon, diced
2 tablespoons minced shallots
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar, plus more for poaching eggs, optional
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
8 cups frisee lettuce
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

1
In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon until crisp.
2
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
3
Turn the heat off and whisk the shallots into the bacon grease.
4
There should be about 1/4 cup of bacon grease; if it's shy of that amount, add some extra-virgin olive oil.
5
In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and Dijon until emulsified.
6
Add in the bacon grease mixture and whisk.
7
Whisk in the salt and pepper.
8
To poach the eggs: Fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add a little vinegar if using.
9
Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water one at a time, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
10
Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water and blot dry with a paper towel.
11
In a large salad bowl, toss the frisee with the dressing and bacon.
12
Divide the lettuce among 4 serving bowls and top each with an egg and a sprinkle of chives.
