Cooks' note:

The egg yolks are not fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    20 min

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 oz sliced Canadian bacon, cut into 1- by 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
6 cups torn frisée

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together mustard, salt, shallots, parsley, and 4 1/2 teaspoons vinegar in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

    Step 2

    Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and brown bacon with pepper, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water and 1 teaspoon vinegar and bring to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them evenly. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Toss frisée with dressing. Serve topped with bacon and eggs.
