Step 1
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer bacon to a plate, leaving 1 tbsp fat in the skillet. Stir in shallot and mustard, cook 30 seconds.
Step 3
Remove skillet from heat. Add vinegar and 1 tbsp water—mixture will sizzle. Whisk to combine.
Step 4
Toss frisée with warm vinaigrette and bacon in a bowl until leaves just wilt, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Bring a pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Crack eggs into a small bowl, slide into water, poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
Step 6
Divide salad between two plates. Top each with a poached egg and serve immediately.
