Poached Egg Scallions

This is one of my favorite things to make for breakfast!

Ingredients:

Egg

Piece of ham (Canadian Bacon)

Fresh tomato

Spinach leaf (or 2)

Slice of baguette, or toast

Bacon

Parsley

Scallions

Salt

Frying pan

Butter

How to make it:

Crack the egg over a boiling pot and smoothly slide it into the water.

It will start to make little white antenas in the water, thats ok.

Boil until white and round all over.

Meanwhile:

Cut a nice big round slice of your favorite tomato.

Cut a slice of Fresh French Baguette.

On a little pan:

Put a teaspoon of butter, let melt.

Toast the bread for a little on both sides until it looks golden and delicious.

It should still be a little soft and fresh inside, not cooked to a crisp, ok.

Chop up some bacon.

Take the toast off the pan.

Drop the bacon in the pan.

Fry the bacon a little, just enough so its toasty but not crispy.

Final Presentation:

Plase the toast on the plate

On the toast put down a few fresh Spinach leaves(add sause: optional: see sause below)

Put the tomato on top of that

Salt, Pepper

Take a fresh slice of Canadian Bacon, make a ring, place on top of tomato

Place the egg inside the ring

Sprinkle with fried bacon, choped scallions, parsley, (add your favorite fresh herbs)
Now serve with a delightfull proud grin as if you just created a masterpeice.

Enjoy.

Sauce:
(Don't add the sauce if you want to keep it light)

In the same little frying pan add some heavy whipping cream or half-and-half.

The frying pan should still have some butter and fried bacon juices on it.

Salt, pepper, herbs.

Mix in a teaspoon of Mayonnaise.

Stir while cooking.

Add a table spoon of your favorite melting cheese: chedar, swiss, mozzarela, jack, even romano will do.

Stir until it becomes slightly more dense.
Pour over the toast before all the other ingrediens go on it.

Or pour over the whole sandwich when its all put together. Its yummy!
