Open-Faced Poached Egg Sandwich





If your looking for a light and savory meal, then your search ends here! This sandwich makes a perfect breakfast, but can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Poached eggs are an excellent source of protein and with no added fat from frying, it is one of the healthiest ways to enjoy an egg. From start to finish, this meal takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and assemble, making it perfect for days when we are pressed for time.

Ingredients:
1slice gluten free bread
1 tbsp roasted red pepper hummus
1/4 sliced avocado
1/4 sliced roma tomato
1/2 oz. crumbled goat cheese
1 egg

Optional toppings:
sea salt
black pepper
dill


  • In a shallow pot or saucepan, bring water to an almost boil. (*some suggest adding vinegar to your water, as it helps the egg whites solidify quickly.)
  • Insert a cracked egg into the center of the water. Using a slotted spoon, begin moving your egg whites over their yolk. 
  • Turn off the burner, and cover your saucepan with a lid. Set a timer for 4 minutes.
  • While you are waiting for your egg to finish cooking, slice tomato and avocado. 
  • Toast your slice of bread. 
  • Remove bread from toaster and begin assembling your egg sandwich. Spread hummus over toast, followed by avocado slices, tomato, and finally goat cheese. 
  • When your egg is finished cooking, remove it from the pan using a slotted spoon and place it on the top of your sandwich. 
  • Top egg with sea salt, black pepper, and dill for a little extra seasoning!
