Preparation
In large skillet, cook pancetta over medium-high heat until crisp, about 4 minutes; drain on paper towel–lined plate. Drain off all but 2 tbsp of the fat from pan.
In same skillet, cook mushrooms, salt and pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 6 minutes.
In large bowl, toss together curly endive, radicchio, mushroom mixture and dressing. Divide among plates; top each with pancetta and egg.
Poached Eggs In large saucepan or deep skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) water over medium heat until simmering. Add 1 tbsp vinegar.
One at a time, crack eggs into custard cup or small bowl; gently slide into simmering water. Reduce heat to low; cook until whites are set and yolks are still soft, about 3 minutes.
With slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined tray; keep warm.
