oil in slow steady stream. Add salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 C
dressing; pour remaining dressing over potatoes and toss gently. Cool
completely.

Toss potatoes with diced prosciutto, green onions and 1 C crumbled
Gorgonzola. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover potatoes and
refrigerate. Cover reserved dressing and store at room temperature.
Bring potatoes to room temperature before continuing with recipe.)

Preheat broiler. Cut out 1 bread round from each bread-slice using 3
1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Cut smaller round in each larger round
using 1 3/4-inch round cookie cutter; do not remove smaller rounds
(centers). Place on baking sheet. Brush bread on both sides with oil.
Top center of each with 1/2 T crumbled Gorgonzola. Broil until
golden, 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove centers and reserve.

Place 5 large mustard leaves on each plate in spoke fashion. Tear
remaining leaves into bite-size pieces. Mound in center. Spoon potato
salad around leaves in center. Place 1 large bread round atop leaves
in center of each plate. Top each with poached egg. Drizzle 1 T of
remaining dressing over each egg. Sprinkle prosciutto julienne over
each. Top with crouton centers. Place Gorgonzola wedges on sides of
plates and serve.

using slotted spoon. Add eggs to medium saucepan of simmering water
