Cooks' notes:

•Poached eggs keep overnight. Transfer eggs as cooked with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water, then chill in water. To reheat eggs, lower them into simmering water with a slotted spoon and cook 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels.
•The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
