Method
 

Vinaigrette Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together shallots, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar until smooth. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook Bacon
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add bacon, and sauté for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Make Croutons
  1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add cubed baguette, and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare Salad
  1. Rinse frisée lettuce and pat dry. Toss with half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl before arranging on plates.
Poach Eggs
  1. Fill a deep pan with water and bring to simmer. Crack eggs into a small bowl and slide into water, poaching for 3-4 minutes.
Assemble Salad
  1. Top each plate of frisée with poached eggs, bacon, and croutons. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
