Ingredients

  • 6 (1-inch-thick) slices baguette, cut on a diagonal
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar plus a few drops for cooking eggs
  • 3 cups baby greens (2 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.

  2. 2

    Butter a 1-quart shallow baking dish or a 9-inch pie plate. Arrange bread in 1 layer in dish.

  3. 3

    Whisk together milk, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with cheese and press lightly to help bread absorb custard. Let stand until absorbed, 15 to 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Dot with butter and bake, uncovered, until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Bring 2 inches water to a boil with a few drops of vinegar in a small deep skillet or saucepan. Break each remaining egg into a cup and slide into water, spacing eggs apart. Poach at a bare simmer to desired doneness (we prefer firm whites with runny yolks, 2 to 3 minutes).

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, toss greens with remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar, oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

  7. 7

    Divide pain perdu between 2 plates and top with salad. Lift eggs out of poaching liquid 1 at a time with a slotted spoon and place on top of salad. Lightly season eggs with salt and pepper.
