Poached Eggs With Parmesan and Smoked Salmon Treats
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread, each slice cut into four 4-by-1/2-inch rectangles
- extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1⁄4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 8 long strips
- 4 large eggs
- fresh ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F
- Fill a medium skillet with water and bring to a boil.
- Put the bread on a baking sheet and brush all over with olive oil.
- Bake for about 8 minutes, or until crisp.
- Reserve 8 toasts.
- Push the remaining 8 toasts on the baking sheet close together and sprinkle the Parmesan on top in a thick layer; bake for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Wrap the smoked salmon around the remaining 8 toasts
- Reduce the heat under the skillet to moderately low so the water simmers.
- One at a time, break the eggs into a small bowl and pour them into the simmering water.
- Cook until the whites are just firm and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to paper towels and gently blot dry; season with black pepper.
- Put each egg in a small, warmed bowl.
- Serve immediately with the Parmesan and smoked salmon toasts.
