If you don't want to poach your eggs, swap in sliced hard-boiled eggs or scrambled eggs instead.

Ingredients

Egg

2 item(s), large

Whole wheat sandwich thins

1 roll(s)

Fat free cottage cheese

¼ cup(s)

Tomato

2 slice(s)

Fresh basil

1 Tbsp, small leaves

96% fat-free deli sliced ham

2 oz, sliced very thin

Black pepper

1 pinch(es), or to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium saucepan half full with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Carefully crack an egg into a custard cup or ramekin and slip the egg into the water. Repeat with a second egg. Cook until the egg whites are firm but the yolks are still soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the sandwich thin and top each piece of bread with half the cottage cheese, tomato, ham, and basil.
  3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Place a drained egg on each sandwich half and sprinkle with pepper. Enjoy open-faced.
  4. Makes 1 serving.
