Salmon Wrapped Poached EggsMiki Duisterhof

When poaching eggs for a crowd, we've found the baking pan method below to be almost foolproof. Have a friend help you wrap the eggs in salmon before they get cold. If you're working on your own, you may want to simply drape the salmon over the eggs.

Cooks' notes:

·If you can't get individual brioches, you can use a brioche or challah loaf. Cut 16 (1/2-inch-thick) slices and halve them diagonally.
·Serving these eggs with runny — not fully cooked — yolks may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area.
