My grandmother Mabel Kennedy Sullivan use to make this frequently. This is one of the first recipes that she taught to me when I was a very little girl. *** If you omit the toast, make the poached eggs and put on a plate with asparagus, and fried potatoes, you have a very elegant dinner! *** Next time you make a "Chef's Salad", make croutons with the toast in a skillet, top the salad with poached eggs instead of boiled eggs! This too is a bit more elegant than the usual chef's salad. Have fun with poached eggs! This is a photo from internet...
