This was a great breakfast for me. This is only my second attempt at poaching eggs and they turned out great and the combination of the spinach and swiss sauce on the english muffin were wonderful. I was a little unclear on the directions though. I wasn't sure if the prosciutto and tomatoe were to be placed on the muffin or eaten along with it on the side. I also had to look back at another recipe to remember how to poach my eggs since this was only my second time and there are no directions for poaching the eggs here. I toasted my muffin and placed the poached egg on top, then I covered it with the spinach then the swiss chesse sauce. I did eat the prociutto and tomatoe on the side. Thanks for sharing.
