  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Ingredients
  • 2-4 slices wheat sourdough bread, depending on the size, see shopping tip
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 ounces, ham or turkey ham, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices reduced-fat cheese, such as Jarlsberg or Swiss
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 4 eggs, we like Egg-Land’s Best
  • Ingredients for salad
  • 6 cups spring mix or field greens lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomato, sliced in half.
  • 2 tablespoons Girard’s Light Champagne Vinaigrette or your favorite light Italian dressing
  • Shopping Tip
  • Most loaves of wheat sourdough or cracked wheat sourdough have very large slices. If using this type of sourdough, you’ll only need ½ slice of bread for each serving. We bought ours at Trader Joe’s. Each slice typically has about 130 calories.

    Prep Tip
    To ensure that the egg yolk stays whole while poaching, crack each egg into a custard cup or small dish first instead of cracking right into the pan. This way you can gently slide the eggs into the water.

    Vinegar is added to the water for poaching because the acid helps keeps the egg white intact. Poaching water should be at a gentle simmer. They’ll be a little steam and tiny bubbles.
