In a large bowl, put the ingredients for the tartare, season with salt and pepper generously and mix. Reserve in the fridge.
Prepare the toppings. In a small saucepan, add vegetable oil and heat to 350°F. Add capers and cook for 2-3 minutes or until open and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a few sheets of paper towels.
Add shallots and cook 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel. Set aside.
Prepare the croutons! In a bowl, put the olive oil, the Provencal herbs, season with salt and pepper generously and mix. Brush the croutons on both sides with the oil mix and place on a plate. On a barbecue grill or on a ridged cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, grill the croutons for a few minutes on each side.
Assemble your plates! Divide the tartare mixture between two plates and form a small well in the centre. Gently place the egg yolks in the centre and garnish with capers and fried shallots!
