Ingredients
- 1 slice of multigrain or whole wheat bread, I used Milton’s multigrain, see shopping tip
- 1 teaspoon reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup tomato, chopped and drained (I used sliced grape or cherry tomatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup of water
- ½ tablespoon of apple cider or any white vinegar
- 1 egg, I like using Eggland’s Best eggs, see healthy benefits
- Salt and pepper to taste, if desired
Instructions
- Toast bread and spread with butter or Smart Balance Light. Sprinkle all over with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Place chopped tomatoes all over top of toast. Set aside.
- In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add vinegar. Crack egg into a small custard cup or small bowl and slowly pour it into the pot of boiling water. Set a timer and simmer egg for 3-4 minutes. Cook to desired consistency. If you like it very running cook for 3 minutes.
- While the egg is cooking, place garlic toast under the broiler for about 30-45 seconds for cheese to melt. Remove from oven.
- When egg is ready, carefully remove from water using a rubber spatula. or large spoon. Place the poached egg on top of garlic bread and serve immediately with a fork and knife.
Notes
Makes 1 serving. This can be doubled, tripled, and so on.
Healthy Benefits
Whenever a recipe calls for using whole eggs, Eggland’s Best eggs are my very favorite to use. They have less saturated fat, less cholesterol, more Vitamin D, more Vitamin E and double the Omega 3 than regular eggs. They’re sold in most supermarkets.
Shopping Tip
One of my very favorite bread is Milton’s multigrain. It’s sold in most supermarkets, Trader Joe’s and Costco.
Prep Tips
To ensure that the egg yolk stays whole while poaching, crack each egg into a custard cup or small dish first instead of cracking right into the pan. This way you can gently slide the egg into the water. Vinegar is added to the water for poaching because the acid helps keeps the egg white intact. Poaching water should be at a gentle simmer. They’ll be a little steam and tiny bubbles.
