Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper. Brush one sheet with olive oil and arrange the potato slices on top in an even layer. Brush the tops of the potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes, or until tender inside and golden brown on both sides. Arrange turkey bacon slices in an even layer on the second baking sheet. Cook for 10 minutes, flip <g class="gr_ gr_102 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="102" data-gr-id="102">bacon</g> over and cook for another 10 minutes or until crispy. Set both aside and allow to cool slightly. Chop bacon when cooled.

To make <g class="gr_ gr_91 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="91" data-gr-id="91">vinaigrette</g>, add all ingredients to a bowl or a screw-top jar. Add remaining dressing ingredients and either whisk (in the bowl) or shake (the jar) to emulsify.

When you are ready to serve the salad, toss the arugula with just enough dressing to coat lightly and arrange on a platter. Tuck in the wedges of avocado and the slices of potatoes and top with the eggs, cherry tomatoes, and bacon. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with herbs, if using.

How To Poach an Egg:

Stove-Top Method (ideal for poaching 1-4 eggs):

Fill a shallow saucepan or deep skillet with water that is 1 ½ inches deep. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.

Crack your eggs individually into a small bowl or ramekin.

Once the water has completely settled (bubble rising to the top in a steady stream is ok), gently swirl the water in one direction, creating a vortex of sorts. Carefully pour your egg into the water one at a time, allowing the bowl to come completely in contact with the water before you release the egg. Repeat with remaining eggs if poaching more than one at a time. After the last egg has been in the water for 30 seconds, give the top of the water a gentle swirl to prevent any of the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

When each egg has been in the water for 3-3 ½ minutes, use a slotted spoon to gently remove the egg from the water. The whites should be set and the yolk should be jiggly. Set on a towel or paper towel to drain and then serve immediately.*

Oven Method (ideal for poaching 4-12 eggs):

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Fill each cup of a standard 12-cup muffin tin with one Tablespoon of water.

Crack one egg into each cup on top of the water.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the <g class="gr_ gr_87 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="87" data-gr-id="87">whites</g> are set but the yolk is still jiggly or the doneness you prefer. During the cooking process, the water floats to the top of the egg, so it may appear as though the whites are not set after the allotted time. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the eggs out of the water and check if the whites are set, and eventually to remove the egg once whites are set.

Transfer the eggs to a towel or paper towel to drain and then serve immediately.*

*If you are not serving your poached eggs immediately, transfer to an ice bath immediately after cooking. Eggs can be stored in an ice bath in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To reheat, transfer the eggs to simmering water until heated through.
