Ingredients
- 6 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 shallot, sliced
- 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar, divided
- 4 large fresh farm eggs
- 1/2 pound frisee (about 2 large heads) washed, dried, and chopped into bite-size pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Cook the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 2 tablespoons vinegar, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 minute.
In a large skillet, bring about 6 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to gentle simmer. Crack the eggs, 1 at a time, and gently slip them it into the water. Cook until white is set but yolk is still runny, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Add the frisee and crisp bacon pieces to the warm pan dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Divide the dressed frisee and bacon between 4 plates; top with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Oh! This was so good and so easy! My "aha" moment came when a few weeks ago, I fell into bed after an exhausting day in the kitchen. I was cooking and cleaning from breakfast until dinner for my family. I'm a 37 year old mother of a 5 and 7 year old. It finally hit me that making complicated recipes just doesn't make sense anymore and that after 10 years of doing this, I deserve a break too. There's got to be an easier way. Anyhow, simple and delicious cooking is now my mainstay. Complicated meals are out for good! I also like Laura Calder on the Cooking Channel, whose recipes are impressive yet simple. And I cannot wait to buy Claire's new cookbook. Thank you Claire!
