Poached Egg over Cauliflower Protein Spinach Bread




     Total confession time ... I HAVE NEVER POACHED AN EGG!!!  My friend, Elizabeth, felt compelled to show off her culinary skills and brag about her poaching abilities (apparently keeping it to her self was just too much to suffer...)!!!  Another confession, I'M SO GLAD SHE SHARED!!!  Now I feel all "Egg Uppity"... and secretly can't wait to show off to some other unsuspecting fool!!!  Serve this over a round of Cauliflower Protein Spinach Bread and you have a masterpiece on your hands, ...or should I say on your "fork"!!!  Enjoy this divine healthy breakfast for 175 calories, 1.8g net carbs and 14g protein, and you will never look at morning the same again!!!  ;)

     Bring water with a splash of Vinegar to boil, crack Egg and gently release in softly boiling water til whites are cooked as you like and no longer "giggly", approximately 4 minutes.  While cooking, toast bread in toaster or broiler ( make sure to flip sides if broiling).  Remove Egg with slotted spoon to top of toasted bread, season as desired.  Enjoy  ;)
