For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs and add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water.
If you can't find frisée, substitute with curly endive or another bitter green.

Yes, you can make the vinaigrette up to a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and whisk it again before using.
What is frisée?
Frisée is a type of curly endive with a slightly bitter flavor, often used in salads for its unique texture and taste.
How do I poach an egg perfectly?

Can I use regular bacon instead of lardon?

What can I serve with this salad?
This salad pairs well with a crusty baguette or as a starter for a main course like roasted chicken or fish.
