Prosciutto-Wrapped Poached Eggs with Summer Vegetable Pancake

The secrets to perfectly poaching these eggs are to cook them until the whites are just set and then to quickly shock the eggs in an ice bath—so don’t skip this step. When you brown the prosciutto-wrapped eggs just before serving, they will emerge with firmly set whites and runny yolks. If you have some fresh pesto on hand, it makes a wonderful accompaniment to the dish.
