Healthy and Simple Breakfast

Need a healthy breakfast with protein that doesn’t take forever to make?  Well I have the perfect recipe!

Poached Eggs with Salsa

Ingredients:

1/2 tomato

1/2 small white onion

The end of one jalapeño

2 large eggs

Water

Some shredded cheese (I use cheddar but any kind you like will work)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 slice of toast (I prefer Italian but, again, any kind works)

Directions: Dice your onion and tomato.  Mince the jalapeño, add salt and pepper, mix the salsa together, and set aside.  Boil 1/2 to 2/3 a pot of cold water on a high setting using a lid.  Crack two eggs into a small bowl.  When the water boils, turn to low, swirl the water with a slotted spoon, add the eggs, and cover.  You will cook the eggs 3 to 4 minutes.  After putting the eggs in you can put your bread in the toaster.  After 4 minutes, take the eggs out and drain for a few seconds with the slotted spoon to get rid of excess water.  Once drained, place on a plate and sprinkle your cheese over the eggs.  It will melt over the hot eggs.  Top eggs with your salsa, serve with toast, and enjoy with your coffee or a nice glass of juice!
