STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. In a skillet, cook bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy; remove bacon but keep 1 tablespoon of fat.

     💡 Flow tip: The warm bacon fat will help emulsify the vinaigrette.

  2. Whisk sherry vinegar, dijon mustard, bacon fat, and the 1.8 tablespoons of infused olive oil into a bowl.

     💡 Flow tip: Ensure the vinaigrette is slightly warm to wilt the frisée gently.

  3. Bring a pot of water with a splash of vinegar to a simmer and poach eggs for exactly 3 minutes.

     💡 Flow tip: The yolk must remain runny to act as a secondary sauce for the salad.

  4. Toss the frisée and croutons with the vinaigrette until every leaf is glistening.

     💡 Flow tip: Frisée is hearty and can stand up to a bold, infused dressing.

  5. Plate the salad, top with crispy lardons, and place the poached egg dead center.

     💡 Flow tip: Finish with a crack of fresh black pepper to highlight the terpenes.
