Oozing poached egg on a layer of cheese and roast ham – what’s not to love about this lower-calorie version of the classic English breakfast muffin?  

Method:

  1. Preheat the grill.
  2. Toast the muffins on the cut sides only.
  3. Poach the egg in gently simmering water for 3-4 minutes until the yoke is set but still runny in the middle.
  4. Spread the toasted sides with the low-fat spread and lay on the spinach leaves, ham and cheese.
  5. Place the poached egg on one muffin half, season with black pepper, and top with the other half.

Tips

If poaching eggs terrifies you, just use chopped boiled eggs or scrambled egg instead.
