Amorous Poached Egg Sandwich With Swiss Cheese Sauce

"Entered for safe-keeping, this would qualify as romantic breakfast food for DH. Prosciutto and spinach make this very special. Combined onion is 1/2 cup or 1 small onion. By Tracey Seaman, found in Every Day with Rachael Ray. Edited 5/25/14 to add Steps 9-13; thank you Pat for alerting me."

  1. Yum! I thought this would be a heavier meal than it turned out to be. Satisfying, but not too filling. I swapped out regular sausage and veggie sausage for the meat and it worked well. Served with melon balls for a really tasty breakfast. Thanks for posting the recipe.
     
  2. 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.
