Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook lardons in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and fat renders, about 6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer lardons to a paper towel; leave fat in the pan. Add shallot to the fat and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk mustard and vinegar together, then pour into the hot pan off heat. Stir once to combine with the pork fat.

    Bring a small pot of salted water to a simmer. Crack each egg into the water and poach until whites set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slide one warm poached egg onto each salad. Season with salt and pepper, then serve immediately.
