Reduce the heat to medium and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Once the olive oil starts to shimmer you're ready to go.
Carefully crack the egg into the skillet.
Let the egg start to cook, gently tilting the pan occasionally to pool the oil, and baste the egg white with the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes for runny yolks or 3 minutes for medium yolks.
Transfer the crispy fried egg to a baking sheet once the egg whites are set and season with salt and pepper. Repeat as needed.
To Assemble
Slather a few tablespoons of the confit on each piece of bread. Drizzle with the basil vinaigrette.
Top with a fried egg and sprinkle the bacon on top. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chives if desired.
