Cooks' notes:

• The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. You can substitute pasteurized eggs (in the shell) or cook eggs longer. • Vegetables can be prepared 1 day ahead. Chill tomatoes, mushrooms, and sauce separately, covered. • Toasts can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature.
