Steps:
- 1. In a cold saucepan, add bacon and turn the heat to medium; cook until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
- 2. Add shallots and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds. Drain bacon fat and shallot/garlic mixture into a fine sieve sitting over a measuring cup. Transfer the shallot-garlic mix to a bowl and set aside to cool off a little.
- 3. In a medium pot, add water and bring to a boil; add white vinegar.
- 4. Meanwhile in a salad bowl, add frisée lettuce and bacon pieces; toss to combine.
- 5. Make vinaigrette; add sherry vinegar and Dijon mustard to the shallot-garlic mixture; whisk until combined. Slowly emulsify extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbsp. bacon fat by pouring it in a little at a time - if you go too fast, it will separate; season with salt and pepper.
- 6. Pour in half of the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to mix. Add more dressing if desired; spoon salad in serving bowls and set aside.
- 7. Reduce water to medium and stir it to create a vortex (prevents white from spreading out). Crack each egg into individual ramekin and carefully drop each egg into water. Poach 2 at a time for 2 to 2 ½ minutes.
- 8. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs and place on top of the frisée. Sprinkle on smoked paprika and chopped chives. Serve immediately with a few crostini. Serves 2
