  1. This is a great, basic recipe to keep in mind for a quick, balanced breakfast. When I was in Scotland, we stayed in a bed and breakfast where a two-egg version of this was ordered daily by a young, newly married man. The innkeeper referred to it as a "Marilyn Monroe"!
     
  2. We poach the egg in the microwave but this is undoubtedly my husband's favorite breakfast and lunch. Easy and light on the calories!
     
  3. One of my favorite breakfasts. One tip I could give is to add a splash of vinegar to the water it really helps hold the egg together!! Thanks for posting!
