The MacK Muffin
Serves 1
Hands on time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
White vinegar, as needed
1 large Egg
Olive Oil cooking spray
1 cup Spinach
1 Whole-Wheat English Muffin
1 Tbsp light Cream Cheese
1 Slice Tomato
Sea Salt and fresh ground Black Pepper, to taste
1 tsp Hot sauce, Optional
1. Bring a large, deep saucepan with at least 5-6 cups of water to a boil. Add about 1 teaspoon vinegar for every cup of water. (Taste to make sure the amount is correct - vinegar should be barely noticeable.) Lower heat to a slow simmer. Carefully crack egg into a teacup or large ladle. Lower teacup or ladle into water and pour egg out as gently as possible, careful not to break yolk. Egg white will coagulate in water and turn white. Cook until egg white is formed and set and yolk begins to thicken but is not hard, 3-4 minutes. Remove egg with a slotted spoon or strainer; set aside.
2. Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and mist with cooking spray. Once pan is hot, add spinach and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly wilted. Remove spinach from pan and set aside.
3. Toast English muffin. To assemble, spread 1/2 tbsp cream cheese on each half of English muffin. Place spinach on bottom half of English muffin, then add poached egg and tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with hot sauce, if desired, before topping with the other half of English muffin.
